The road ends up in the village and the cell phones here have no signal. But if you might need a telephone there are phone booths and ground lines. The valley has been proclaimed as a touristic area and it has plenty of water springs (9 bigger springs). The village itself has a long tradition and the historical roots reaches in the far year 1275... here existed a fort «Grad Potok. - (Spring town) owned by the Gorjan nobility. It has developed around the fort and scattered on the surrounding hills... In the 15th and the 16th century there was a Turks breach and most of the population was taken to slavery. In the second half of the 17th century with the rebellion of Rev. Luka Ibrigimovid the Turks were expelled but still with occasional intrusions and in the 1758. they destroyed the Chapel of Saint Marc, while the actual Chapel of The Holy Ascension was built in the 1760. the village gets its actual shape and lowers in the valley by the order of the Emperoress Maria Theresa. At that age the village was part of the .vojna krajina,, - military frontier at the border toward the Turks. Driven by love for our native land and the place where our ancestors were born, we decided to revive the Stara Kapela (Old Chapel) and on one different, specific basis through the project of the eco-ethno village, transforming the village itself in an interesting touristic destination as a (village-hotel), respectful of the traditional Slavonian architecture, cultural values, traditions etc...
