The old ruined huts, built in the traditional way from the endemic foja tree, are a testament to the former life in the village. In the past, the main occupation of the population was fishing. Even today, the Prespa belvica (nivica) is hunted by the lake and dried in the sun in salt. Konjsko is the closest settlement to the island of Golem Grad .. Hundreds of snakes live on the island, which according to legends guard the wealth of Tsar Samuel.
