If you’d like to spend a weekend in nature, relax and instead of looking at the screen, look at the lush greenery of Northwest Croatia, join us! On our weekend tour, we offer more than relaxation – a story of prehistoric times in this region and tasting of local wine and delicacies.

1. dan: GAVEZNICA – LUNCH – SPA

In the morning we head from Zagreb towards Gaveznica, a fossil volcano. In the last phases of its activity, semi-precious stones like agate, calcedony and opals were formed. Inactive for millions of years, this spot is ideal for a light walk and start of our story about the hidden treasures of the hills of Zagorje.
After a walk with a local guide, it’s time to discover the secrets of Zagorje through smell and taste – a wine tasting and lunch in one of the local wineries.
One of the treasures of Zagorje was appreciated since the times of the ancient Romans – thermal waters. Just like Roman soldiers, after exploring we will relax at a local spa. Free time and overnight.

2. dan: RADOBOJ – LUNCH – KRAPINA

After breakfast, first stop on the itinerary – Radoboj, near Krapina. The local museum Radboa tells the story of the long time ago, when these parts were a part of the Panonic Sea. The fossils of fish and tropical vegetation show the landscape much diferrent than the present one, but there are some similarities – the grapevine fossil, oldest of its kind in the world shows the presence of that plant here for millions of years! After the visit to the museum, we’ll take a walk on the “Orchid Trail” that holds an unexpected surprise from the prehistoric times. After the hike it’s time for lunch, accompanied by local wines.

In the afternoon, we visit another gem – the Neanderthal’s Museum in Krapina. The story of the prehistoric times in Zagorje and its inhabitants before the arrival of Homo Sapiens – the Neanderthals – is concluded with a guided tour of the museum after which we return to Zagreb.

Just an hour away from Zagreb, the mesmerizing green hills of Zagorje offer not only a magical sight to see, but also give us a very educational and fun day trip. The Krapina Neanderthal Museum, an award winning institution that, in a very contemporary way, displays the stages of human evolution, focusing on the life of Neanderthal men whose remains were found in a nearby cave. A very interesting, interactive and unique exhibition that you simply cannot miss!

After visiting the Museum, we take a lunch break and try the local cuisine. We continue the trip to the beautiful Trakošćan castle, a castle set on a hill and surrounded by woods and a lake. The collection inside shows the lifestyle of Croatian nobility and the castle’s exterior makes a perfect setting for a romantic walk.

Only an hour away from Zagreb, the largest traditional preserved village provides visitors with insights on life of the peasants at the beginning of 20th century. The village in Kumrovec shows customs and daily life of peasants and their families, as well as the various traditional crafts. But we can learn much more about the history of Croatia there because in one of those small houses Josip Broz Tito (ex Yugoslav president and politician) was born and raised. After sightseeing we take a break and try the specialties of the region in a local restaurant. The trip continues to Veliki Tabor, a well preserved medieval castle that tells a tragic story of a forbidden love between the count and a village girl. After the visit to the castle, we return to Zagreb.

It takes only an hour to get from busy Zagreb to the green and peaceful villages of Zagorje. We go to Gornja Stubica where we visit the Peasants’ Revolt Museum situated in a baroque castle that used to belong to the family Oršić. The museum displays the life of the peasants and aristocracy in the times of feudalism, from the 15th until the mid-19th century, and tells us about the 16th century peasants’ revolts and their legendary leader Matije Gubec. An impressive monument dedicated to those events, designed by the famous sculptor Augustinčić, is situated next to the Museum, overlooking the enchanting hills. After a lunchbreak at one of the local restaurants, we continue the trip to Marija Bistrica, the most popular pilgrimage site of NW Croatia since the 17th century. There we visit the church of Saint Mary of Bistrica, see the statue of the Virgin Mary, which is believed to be miraculous and walk around the Stations of the Cross. It’s a great destination to learn about the traditional manufacture of wooden toys and gingerbread souvenir cookies, which were both added to the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. After trying some traditional sweet gingerbread, we leave the picturesque Zagorje and return to Zagreb.
