Description

Ustaoset is a mountain village at an elevation of 990 meters above sea level. The landscape around Ustaoset is a mix of high-altitude plateaus, rugged mountain terrain, and pristine lakes. It is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, especially for skiing in winter and hiking in summer. The village provides access to a beautiful landscape with mountain streams, snow, and a lot of shrubbery. I have seen modra taščica, severni kovaček, vinski drozg, brinovka and kukavica.
