Dying Traditions of Croatia: Basket Carrying Ladies of Vrhovac

By 3 December 2017

Croatia is a country rich in diverse tradition. Meet the three ladies still carrying baskets on their heads in the village of Vrhovac.

The longer I live in Croatia, the less I know. 

"The lovely little village of Vrhovac cherishes its traditions. Can you imagine that for generations people walked for miles to the market with a 20 kilo load or more on their head. Nowadays there are only three ladies left who still carry the "burden of life" on their head instead of "in" their head. Great tradition!"

To see more of a Croatia far from the tourist guidebooks, check out the fabulous photography of Pronk Pictures.
