Kučevo

Kučevo lies in the valley of the Pek, a river long known for the gold carried in its sands. Near the meeting of the Pek and Brodica stand the remains of Kraku Lu Jordan, a fortified Roman metallurgical site. Furnaces, tools and vessels found there reveal work with iron and copper, while the nearby streams may also have supplied gold. The wooded hills and mineral-bearing rivers give the district a history of mining that reaches back to antiquity.
