It is one- hour- drive from Zagreb and the same distance from Slavonski Brod. It is part of the town of Novska. In its vicinity there are Krapje, the European village of construction heritage and the headquarters of Nature Park Lonjsko polje with ranger and other services for welcoming and guiding the guests. Half- an- hour away there is Čigoč, the European village of storks, Lipik, a small town with a 19 century spa and stables of Lipizzaner horses. Moslovina hills are full of vineyards with a wine road of autochthonous sort škrlet.

Deer with cranberries and homemade pasta and wild boar with prunes and homemade gnocchi or in sweet sauces made with škrlet wine or hazelnut brandy are some of the venison staples. “We often tend to surprise our guests with quails or sturgeon.
