  • KLANJEC
    Only 30 km away from Zagreb lies a little town of Klanjec, surrounded by forests and green hills. The area inspired a Croatian poet Antun Mihanovic to write many poems between 1835 and 1845 about this beautiful landscape, the people he met, the way he felt in his heart while taking walks in the area. One of his poems became the Croatian anthem.
    Klanjec is the home town of one of the greatest Croatian academic sculptors, August Augustincic.
  • KUMROVEC
    At the entrance to the ethno-village stands Tito’s birth-house.

The rest of the Old village is an open-air museum (eco-ethno showroom).
  • PICELJ - SIKIRISCE
    The perfect ending to a perfect day: relaxing time at a fine village inn where everybody can relax, enjoy local food and sip some wine. But those who still feel like doing something more, those who still have energy and feel fit, they could take a walk into the forest and go hiking on the hills.
