Leave Zagreb behind and travel into the rolling hills of Hrvatsko Zagorje for a private journey through archaeology, castle heritage, regional gastronomy and traditional village life. Begin with the story of the Krapina Neanderthals, continue to the fortified world of Veliki Tabor, pause for a traditional Zagorje gastronomic experience at Grešna Gorica, and conclude among the preserved village houses and traditions of Kumrovec. Throughout the journey, a licensed local guide, historian and archaeologist connects thousands of years of history into one coherent experience. One region. Four perspectives. A journey through time.
The day
- Morning
Krapina & Human Prehistory
Begin at the Krapina Neanderthal Museum, exploring human evolution, prehistoric life and the archaeological discoveries associated with Krapina. With an archaeologist accompanying the journey, the experience can go beyond conventional museum interpretation.
- Midday
Veliki Tabor
Continue through the Zagorje countryside to Veliki Tabor. Explore its architecture, fortifications and historical stories while discovering the noble heritage of the region and the landscape that surrounds the castle.
