In the village Kraplje is located ornithological reserve Kraplje đol, old dried river Sava basin, in which resides a large number of bird species. Traditional-vernacular architecture in the village is a sort of curiosity and it has entered in the register of cultural monuments and architectural heritage. The restored traditional houses are open to accommodation offering authentic healthy food and drinks, swimming, biking, hunting and traditional fishing.
