Gorica and Rajko stay at the Pešića Rupa katun during the summer. They are engaged in livestock farming, and their daily life is tied to caring for animals and maintaining the katun. Their children join them every summer and help with chores at the katun, especially during the mowing season.

Rajko is particularly recognized for playing the flute, so staying with them often gains a special, almost forgotten atmosphere – the sounds of the flute spreading across the mountain are a true shepherd’s experience.

Gorica is a dedicated hostess who takes care of the household and food preparation, so guests have the opportunity to experience the family warmth and the way of life that has been nurtured here for generations.

The Pešić family bases their daily life at the katun primarily on livestock farming, which is the foundation of their way of life. They raise sheep and cows, so the production of milk and dairy products is at the center of their offer.

From fresh milk, they prepare homemade cheese, kajmak, and jardum, according to recipes passed down in the family for generations. Jardum is a specialty of katun cuisine. It is obtained from sheep’s milk, usually in August. If you are not used to strong food, be careful with jardum; consume small amounts. The cuisine relies on simple but high-quality ingredients, so along with dairy products, potato dishes, homemade bread, and other traditional mountain meals are often on the table.

Authentic, homemade food is thus available to guests, prepared from what is produced directly at the katun according to the season. The Pešić family has a garden in the village where they grow various types of vegetables, and they also have various types of fruit.

The Pešić household is located at the Pešića Rupa katun, in the area of the Biogradska Gora National Park on Bjelasica. The katun is situated near Pešića Lake, which can be reached by an easy 15-minute walk, making it particularly suitable for guests who want to combine a stay at the katun, homemade food, and a visit to one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in this region.

The surroundings consist of vast pastures, forest areas, and mountain viewpoints offering views towards the peaks of Bjelasica. In the wider area are other glacial lakes of the National Park – Biogradsko, Ursulovačko, and Šiška lakes, while among the famous peaks and viewpoints are Crna Glava, Zekova Glava, and Troglava. The National Park is known for its primeval forest reserve, lakes, and rich mountain landscape.

This area is suitable for walking, hiking, cycling, and easy strolls, and marked trails connecting the most attractive locations pass through the National Park. Pešića Rupa katun is a good choice for a longer stay in nature but also for a short break after a tour – lunch, tasting of traditional dishes, and rest in the katun atmosphere.
