Traditional Scything Competition

In the past, in our grandparents’ time, the scythe — alongside the sickle — was the only tool farmers had to cut grass and grain. Among the goals of the Gornji Lakoš Tourism Association is the preservation of traditional scything and passing it on to younger generations. To this end, the scything competition is organised, which has generated great interest for several years now, attracting visitors from both sides of the border.

At this interesting village day event, people of all ages can find a programme that suits them best. In addition to the competition and traditional scything demonstrations, the organisers also offer a fair of local products, educational programmes, themed exhibitions, cultural performances, children's activities, and a variety of culinary delights.
