completely free

In 1930s Dolac farmers market was the very heart of the city. Every

morning kumice would come to the market carrying baskets full of home

grown produce on their heads and selling them to the locals. Just how

important they were in the life of the city is shown in the statue of kumica

erected on the market. During Zagreb Time Machine kumice are brought to

life in their traditional costumes, as they sell fresh fruits and vegetables to

the citizens of Zagreb.

DON'T MISS

Mirogoj, the central cemetery in Zagreb, is located on the slopes

of Medvednica and is considered to be one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe. Howev-

er, Mirogoj is also a beautiful park and an outdoor art gallery. The arcades are the most beau-tiful part of the cemetery – the construction bega in 1879, only

three years after Mirogoj was opened, and they were complet-ed thirty eight years later. Miro-

goj is the resting place of many famous Croats and the complex also contains a number of valu-

able monuments made by promi-nent Croatian artists.


8The picturesque St. Mark's Church is

one of the oldest build-ings in Zagreb and one of its symbols, distinctive for its roof made of multicolor roof tiles. The church has existed since the 13th cen-tury, but it famous roof is much younger – it was in-stalled during its most re-cent reconstruction in the second half of the 19th

century. The roof features emblems of the Croatian regions of Dalmatia and Slavonia on the left side, and the Zagreb City em-blem on the right side. There are three altars in the interior, sculpted by Ivan Meštrovićm, and Kljaković's sacristy paint-ed from the floor to the ceiling. Organ concerts of-ten take place here.

As one of the best preserved mon-uments of old Zagreb, this is the only remaining gate of the former city defense system. It was built in the 13th century and given its present design in 1760. The pas-

sageway within the gate contains a chapel with a picture of St. Mary of the Stone Gate, the city guardian, which according to a legend sur-vived a major fire in 1731 without any damage.STONE GATE

8The history of the Art Pavilion is in a way the

history of the Croatian 20th century fine arts. This is one of the oldest exhibition areas in this part of Europe, spe-

cifically designed for major exhibitions. It is situated be-tween the Central Railway Station and Zrinjevac, in the very heart of Lenuci’s Green Horseshoe.

ART PAVILION

FUNICULAR

8The funicular pro-vides organized pub-

lic transport of passen-gers to the upper part of Zagreb. It connects the Downtown and the Old Town every working day and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 6.30am to 10pm and has to this day retained its original exterior design and struc-ture, as well as most of the technical characteris-tics given to it by its build-ers in 1890 when it was opened. It leaves every ten minutes and the price of one ride is HRK 4. Com-pared to other cable cars intended for public trans-port, its track of only 66 meters makes it the short-est one in the world.

Zagreb CathedralThe Cathedral of the As-sumption of Blessed Vir-gin May, Saint Stephen and Saint Ladislaus, or the Zagreb Cathedral is the largest Croatian sa-cral building and one of the most valuable monu-ments of the Croatian cultural heritage. The church has stood in the same location since 1093 and the construction of the present building be-gan in the 13th century. The last major recon-struction was made at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, while the tow-ers are still being recon-structed in stages. The church is open for tour-ists, may be entered at any time of the day, and a mass in Croatian is held several times a day.


Hundreds of food pro-ducers from Zagreb and

its surrounding areas arrive every day at the Dolac marketplace, lo-cated only a few steps

from the central city square, to sell fresh

fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese and cream, flow-

ers… Dolac is referred to as the city belly be-

cause it has fed the local residents for 85 years. At the top of the stairs there is a sculpture of a traditional producer

and seller - kumica.

Croatian National Theater8The neo-baroque

Croatian National Theater building, a mas-terpiece of late historicism designed by the Austrian architect Ferdinand Fell-

ner and German architect Hermann Helmer, is cer-tainly one of the most im-pressive buildings in Za-greb. Opened in 1895 and seating 750 people, it has

one iron curtain and seven painted curtains displayed on different formal occa-sions. Theatre goers can enjoy drama, opera or bal-let there.

LOTRŠĆAK DOLAC

St. Catherine’s

Church

The tower was built in mid-13th century to protect the south city gate and has been used throughout history as living quarters, a ware-house, a coffee shop… Tourists can enjoy a spectacular view of the city from the top of the tower, visit an exhibi-tion or buy some local products in the souve-nir shop. The Grič Can-on is on the fourth floor, and it greets the resi-dents of Zagreb every day precisely at noon.

St. Catherine’s Church is the most famous Croa-tian baroque church. It is located on Katarina

Zrinska Square, erected as part of a former Jesuit

complex in Zagreb Old Town. It was built from 1620 to 1632 and its six

side chapels contain five baroque altars dating

back to the 17th century, and a marble altar from

1732.

Lauba

Museum of Broken Relationships

Lauba cooperates, exhibits and shares knowledge with peer institutions to keep up to date with and encourage modern art production in Croatia. In addition to unusual exhibits and features, Lauba is designed as a House for People and Art, available to all audiences.

The Museum is a result of a traveling exhibition

of items deriving from broken relationships. An

emotional separation may be overcome by

donating memories to the museum collection

and thus recognizing the end of the relationship.

The Kulmer Palace is full of different objects, from matchboxes to wedding

gowns.

A fearless fighter for human rights and the first female journalist in Croatia has always been one step ahead of her time. She became famous for her romantic novels with elements of national history. The statue is the work of Stjepan Gračan.

At the top of the stairs leading to Dolac from Ban Jelačić Square there is a sculpture of a kumica,

a woman selling her own produce, wearing traditional clothes. It was erected in 2006.

8A neighbourhood in Zagreb with Martićeva as its central axis,

surrounded by Šubićeva, Zvonimiro-va, Draškovićeva and Vlaška streets, is undergoing a spontaneous urban transformation. In the last several years the abandoned car shops have found interesting new tenants, cen-tred on urban, creative and cultural work and content. Some of the best design and architectural studios are located here, as well as civil society groups and art associations. The en-tire neighbourhood boasts priceless architectural heritage of the mod-ern era.

8Nobody really knows how Hrel-ic came to be. But shortly after its

founding, it turned into one of Zagreb’s most legendary sites. On the farthest out-skirts of Croatian capital, you can see this large fair of used goods. From clothes to shoes, from vintage items to computer components sold without guarantee, eve-rything can be found on this strange and unique place. Sounds interesting? Then

come with a large bag, sharpen your bar-gain talents, and indulge into the crazi-est shopping spree you ever took part in!How to reach Hrelic? The easiest way is to take a cab. The average price from Zagreb’s center should be around 50 HRK/6.50 €. If you have your own vehi-cle, you will have to pay 10 HRK/1.30 € for parking. If you use a tram, take num-bers 14 to Zaprude or 6 to Most Mladosti,

and walk a bit next to the causeway. Hrel-ic is organized every Sunday and Wednes-day. Coming early in the morning is a good idea (you don’t want others to buy all the good stuff) but coming late has an advan-tage of huge sales. Be advised, Hrelic is not the cleanest space in the world, but its charm is undeniable.Hrelić is a flea market with style, where peo-ple sell absolutely everything you can im-agine. No visit comes without at least one purchase. Maybe it will be a vintage hair drier? Or a typewriter waging five kilo-grams? Maybe your senior relatives will like those old watches? And who knows, if you are a good at bargains, you can end up with ten LPs for the price of one. Don’t think of Hrelic as a dirty place (although it is not that clean, to be honest). As a mat-ter of fact, chances are you will meet a lot of influential Croatian people there. Theater and film workers always seek inspi-ration or props for artistic projects. Musi-cians are pursuing old instruments in good shape, while literature people seek books and albums for their needs. Stamp collec-tors are also on duty, as well as collectors of various natures. You don’t need to belong in either of these groups to love being on Hrel-ic, of course.If you end up liking the place, bargain away! M

8Britanski trg (British Square) in Zagreb is,

of course, named after the British and the good rela-tions they had with Croats throughout history. It can easily be reached from the capital’s main square, Trg bana Jelacica, by ten min-ute walk, or by simply tak-ing two stops with a tram. If you choose the latter, get on a 1, 6 or 11 tram heading east.The square is often bypassed by tourist guides, usually be-cause it lacks cultural fea-tures such as monuments or statues. However, it is still a charming place which has many things for visitors to enjoy. After all, experiencing a country doesn’t necessary mean one has to run around museums and frantically snap photos. Sometimes, a quiet hour on a café terrace watching people passing by, flipping through a magazine with an un-pronounceable name or learning small bits of a language from the closest table can be more fulfilling then a constant rush for photo material.British square is also known as Mali Plac (“Little Market-place”) as it is smaller then Dolac. Yet it is still of considerable size and offers everything needed for a good lunch. During the workweek, Britanac is usually crowded with potatoes, salads, apples, pines and all other things you see at the greengrocers. It opens early in the morning (as a matter of fact, if you pass by it around 6:00 a.m. chances are you will see people prepping veggies on the tables) and closes around 3 pm. Older women, known as kumice, usually sell their own cheese and cream.On Sundays, the vegetables are replaced with antique items available for sale. Old telephones, ancient lamps, interesting books (some even in foreign languages), early 20th-century dolls, medals, uniforms, swords and treasure chests are just a few things you can find in this open-air museum with exhibits on sale. A good place to visit for your own entertainment, and also for buying gifts for friends and family back home. A club of dedicated Citroen owners sometimes organizes an old-tim-

er car exhibition in the evening hours. Not only can you see these classy European machines in their full glory, but you can also talk to the peo-ple who own them and ask for mechanical ad-vice or the story behind the charming vehicles.

Zagreb offers great variety of places that children will enjoy. Take them to Maksimir, ride around the town in the tourist train, visit the biggest little railway model in this part of the Europe... And be sure - it's not only the kids who will love those activities, so will you!

8Zagreb ZOO stretches on 7 hectares of the south-

ern part of Maksimir Park, and boasts nearly 300 animal spe-cies. The ZOO has numerous external dwellings and sever-al theme pavilions. The oldest inhabitant is a crocodile from Nile, who came to live here in 1972. The ZOO organizes events, workshops and presentations.The ZOO was under construction for two years, and follow-ing the completions of works last year it was opened for visi-tors. One of the nov-elties is a large avi-ary for hundreds of African birds. There is also the new entrance with video surveillance and a visi-tor counter, an additional east entrance, a souvenir shop with around 300 authentic souvenirs that is thre times larger than the previous one, and an addition-

al educational centre. The boil-er room that used to run on fuel oil has been turned into an en-vironment-friendly one, running on pellets. Two bridges have been built and cultural monuments have been restored – the Napoli Fisher-

man (Napuljski rib-ar), and the Lion’s Bridge (Lavlji most), adorned with four new stone lion stat-ues onto which eve-ry child wants to climb to have their picture taken.The spacious Kide-po Lion’s Rock was also erected, as well as a new enclosure for the globally en-dangered red pan-da, and a Madagas-car area. A so-called

“spider’s web” made out of rope, trampolines, benches and deck chairs has been fitted on Swan Island (Labuđi otok) which has recently been connected via Darwin’s Bridge.

8A few years ago Zagreb Electric Tram company (ZET) introduced

free train rides for tourists, and kids are crazy about them. The train rides every weekend between 10am and 7.20pm, eve-ry 40 minutes, along the following route: Ban Jelačić Square, Ilica, Frankopanska, Masarykova, Teslina, Praška, Jurišićeva to Trg žrtava fašizma, and then back to the central square.

BACKO MINI EXPRESSThe biggest model train in Southeast Europe can be found in Gundulićeva street 4. The man behind the idea is Antun Urbić, who got his first model train from Switzerland when he was five. He was fascinat-ed by mini trains which looked exactly like the real thing, so he decided to make his first model in the attic of his house. He soon developed the idea of opening it for visitors. Today he has over 1000 meters of rails and nearly 100 trains, railways sta-tions, and shops. During winter days and the very famous Advent in Zagreb event a model of the Snow Queen ski race was added, and it was a huge success. Backo Mini Express broke all records when it introduced an Advent Fairytale, hosting more than 2700 foreign visitors, which is a 50% increase compared to last year. Backo Mini Express is open for visitors every day.

8Go to Popov toranj and reach for the stars… The

tower dome is home to a century-old Zagreb observatory, opened on 5 December 1903. City fa-thers believed that Popov toranj was ideal for an observatory, as it stands high enough over the city, and the telescope can reach above the polluted atmosphere layers, where the clear sky opens right before your eyes. The tower is in the very centre of Zagreb, and can be reached on foot.

8Children who are 14 and older can play a

popular game room es-cape – they are locked in a room, and have 60 min-utes to find a way out by solving different puzzles. Considering the size of the city, Zagreb’s offer of room escape venues plac-es it in the very top – the total of 10 rooms are on of-fer in four locations. Es-cape room is a game for two to six players (some-times a maximum of five), who have an hour to dis-cover all hidden objects and keys, decipher codes, solve puzzles and riddles, think logically, and work together on solving the problem and finally break-ing out. Children and par-ents can choose from four different room escapes in Zagreb and play the one they like the most.

8Not far from Zagreb city center, a center

for children and adults has been opened which gives you an opportunity to spend your free time in a fun and educational way choosing between 250 wooden games, puz-zles and different brain teasers and riddles.A smart playground is an educational center unique in the world, intended for both children and adults, opened on Zavrtnica, not far from Zagreb city cent-er. It is an entirely new concept which gives vis-itors an opportunity to spend their free time in a fun and educational way choosing between 250 wooden games, puzzles and different brain teas-ers and riddles. All visi-

tors in the educational center have an opportuni-ty to stimulate their brain and keep if fit through play and fun, with profes-sional staff that will help them solve games and ap-ply what they learned in everyday life.The first part of this edu-cational center consists of a smart playroom where all age groups areallowed, whether com-ing as families, individu-als or groups. Here, they can play games that re-quire a lot of brain rack-ing, such as the world’s most famous brain teas-ers: tangram, pentom-ino, the love test, pyra-mid, and many others. Some of the games are of XXL size, so solving them activates the en-

tire human body, and some are competitive, so players need to make an effort to think as fast and hard as they can. The smart playroom is open for all visitors, eve-ry day from 9 am until 10 pm. All activities can be carried out in Croatian, English or Spanish.

The restaurant open in Lauba House of Art boasts soups and stews, proper lunches and tasty home-made bread. Fresh ingredients bought at the market are used in their meals, the menu is changed every three months, and the selection of food depends on the season. Bistro Lauba is the place you must see.

Look for traditional continental and Mediterranean specialties on Vinodol’s menu, including daily menus, and make sure you ask for their wine list. The restaurant is in the heart of the city, and it is one of favourite places of both tourists and locals.

Zlatni medo Pub is famous for grilled meat and daily offer of lunches. The menu also contains special meals such as the beer menu which will satisfy both beer and food lovers. From the centre of the city you can reach the pub easily by tram, and you will most likely find a place as there are more than 450 seats.

if you are looking for Mediterranean cuisine Boban is the place for you. The menu includes specialties with home-made pasta and bread, and the wine menu contains as many as 140 labels.

A great selection of excellent burgers was enough to immedi-ately make Submarine BBQ an ab-solute hit. Everyone recommends their smokehouse burger, but that is not all that the menu offers. If you don't know which one to pick, try three mini-burgers.

Bistro 75 is a must-visit address if you want to try superb sandwiches. There is also a selection of slow-cooked lamb ribs in red wine served on rukola, hamburgers, tacos and daily lunches, the so-called gablec.

MUST TRY

In local restaurans ask for specialties from this region and shop for products that reflect the unique identity of Zagreb surroundingsAUTHOR RENE BAKALOVIĆ

8Zagreb’s gastronomy is a perfect combination of culinary traditions – of the clergy, the nobility

and then the bourgeois, the so-called purgeraj (from the German word Burger meaning citizen), and the rustic tradition of the picturesque ring encircling the city: Zagorje and Prigorje, which developed for nine long centuries. In the urban life of Zagreb, the resi-dents always wanted to show they were able to keep up with the global culinary trends present in major metropolitan centers in neighboring countries – Vien-na and Budapest. Women from the villages of Zagorje and Prigorje brought first-class fresh ingredients to marketplaces in Zagreb on a daily basis. This top se-lection available in Zagreb’s marketplaces has spread to all Croatian regions, as it becomes evident in the restaurants all over the city: Dalmatian, Istrian and Slavonian cuisine. They are now an exhibition of Cro-atian gastro icons.

This two-piece dairy package has developed into a symbol of authentic culinary heritage. Extremely simple, yet very delicate. This cult-status duo is only produced from the milk of cows grazing unpolluted pastures, unquestionably fresh full-fat sour cream and carefully drained cheese. Beside fresh bread, you only need a little salt and perhaps some hot paprika.

Cottage cheese and cream

ŠTRUKLIŠtrukli is a favorite coocked or gratinated pastry, a result

of the transformation of the German strudel on its way east. Štrukli are commonly mentioned in the context

of presenting Croatia to the world. It makes sense: the stuffing consists of cheese

and cream. In Esplanade, the most prestigious hotel both in former

Yugoslavia and now in Croatia, štrukli has been enjoyed by kings and queens, the most prominent statesmen, and the greatest stars of the film

and music industries.

KRAM POGAČEPork scratches are not exclusive to Croatia, but nobody is as mad about them as Croats are. The best ones are sold at very high prices. We love pork scratches so much we put them in the basic food product - pogača, the predecessor of bread. Kram pogača is a small pogača seasoned with ground pork scratches and pepper. These small bites are perfectly combined with a glass of wine or beer.

ZAGORJE SOUPCroats love soups and make them from all kinds of ingredients. Broths like this Zagorje soup can replace an entire meal. This is no wonder - a real Zagorje soup inevitably contains enough good cured meat, dry and fresh mushrooms, root vegetables, onions, garlic and potatoes, hot paprika, pepper, laurel leaf, wine vinegar and, finally, a spoon of sour cream.

TURKEY WITH MLINCIIn its native country of America, turkeys are now huge domesticated

birds. The Zagorje turkey is the smallest protected species, semi-

wild and requiring plenty of outdoor space to survive. This is why its meat it fabulously

succulent. It does not require lots of spices, only mlinci, a traditional kind of pasta gratinated on a wood oven and then doused in gravy, as a side dish.

Good news, beer lovers: Croatia's craft-beer scene is stronger then ever with new breweries and beer bars spanning round. Raise a pint to the best new beers in Zagreb bars

Nova runda Craft Brewery was established by two friends, Marko Filip and Miroslav Šuvak. Their first and so far only beer C4 contains four varieties of hop (Chinook, Cascade, Centennial and Citra), guaranteeing an explosion of taste.

Bujska pivovara is the only brewery of this kind in Istria. Product range includes red, pale and dark San Servolo beers, all unfiltered and unpasteurized.

Bošnjak Beer is made by the Bošnjak family from Sičica near Nova Gradiška. In addition to pale ale, they also make dark beer and pale lager.

The Fifth Element is a special brewery within Pivovara Daruvar. Their products include: American Blonde Ale (ABA), Baltic Porter (BART), and LELA.

The first mini-brewery and pub in Zagreb. They started by making their pale beer Zlatni medvjed, dark beer Crna kraljica, and mixed Mrki medvjed. Their Agram Stout is a dark beer made from roasted barley and malt.

Dino Konta and Sanja Cvetanović started brewing their own beer after experimenting in their kitchen. They started their Pivionica brewery and proceeded to make Fulir, a pale lager, made from natural ingredients.

For as long as these parts have been inhabited, wine has been an inseparable component of both the daily routine and festivities

The great local wine varieties8Wine is one of the most

valuable elements of the Croatian tradition and gastronomic heritage. For as long as these parts have been inhabited, wine has been an inseparable compo-nent of both the daily routine and festivities. Over centu-ries, each Croatian wine re-gion developed its own dis-tinctive wine varieties that fully adapted to the climate, soil and expectations of their residents. When you find yourself in one of the wine regions of Croatia such as Dalmatia,

Istria, Hilly Croatia or Sla-vonia, don’t forget to taste some of the wines favorite among the local population.In Dalmatia, it is plavac mali. This is the most important and the most represented red variety in Croatia. It yields soft, ripe and succu-lent wines when offered in a lower price range and origi-nates from Dalmatian fields situated in ravines hidden in endless karst. On the other hand, when it comes from steep slopes facing the sun and the sea, usually from islands or peninsulas such

as Hvar, Brač and Pelješac, it gives powerful, warm, strong and ripe wines, per-fectly reflecting the harsh conditions that created them with their richness and con-centration.When in Istria, malvazija is the most important variety to try. A white wine full of freshness and pleasant aro-mas of ripe fruits, such as peaches and hints of blos-soming acacias. In addition to this basic edition, malva-sia can also be found in more ambitious forms after ageing for a long time and develop-

In Dalmatia you

mali and in Istria

tip!

ing a more complex aromat-ic set.When in hilly Croatia, look for aromatic white varieties such as sauvignon blanc or Riesling (locally referred to as rajnski rizling). They also use many other varieties to make wine in the region, but what they all have in com-mon are lively acids and a highly refreshing character. The wines of hilly Croatia work ideally as an aperitif, refreshment in summertime, or to go with a light meal.Slavonia and the Danube Region are an empire of graševina, the most impor-tant and represented white variety, but also a general type. Graševina is a good-times wine, and is ideal to go with your lunch. It is normally bold and refresh-ing with attractive aromas of apple, pineapple or citrus, and is offered at very afforda-ble prices. Sometimes, when it comes from later harvests, it shows quite a different face and its aromas.

Highest peak of Medvednica Nature Park, stretching over more than 22,000 hectares, is Sljeme at 1033 meters AUTHOR SERGEJ TRAJKOVIĆ

SLJEME- mountain above Zagreb8Sljeme (at 1033 metres) is the high-

est peak of Medvednica Nature Park stretching over more than 22,000 hectares. It is famous for the World Cup Snow Queen ski race, but is also the place where visitors can enjoy historical and natural monuments all year round.The road leading to Sljeme starts at the foot of Medvednica, near Bliznec, and ends at Tomislavov dom near the top. Alternatively, choose any of the numer-ous hiking trails leading to the top. At the very peak, next to ski slopes, there is Vidikovac restaurant from which there is a wonderful view of Hrvatsko Zagorje. If the sky is very clear, you can even see Triglav in the Julian Alps.If you feel like hiking, take the 6.3 kilo-

metres long Leustekova staza trail num-ber 14, which is the most popular and the easiest one. To get there, take tram number 15 at Mihaljevac and get off at Gračani stop, the one before last. Con-tinue north towards Medvednica. You can see the foundations of the Rebar Villa nearby. Half way through there is Adolfovac mountain house. The trail then goes to the top, crossing the Sljeme road twice, passing by Sljeme well, and leading to Stara lugarnica, Željezničar mountain house and finally Činovnička livada at the very top. You can reach Sljeme if you take trail number 15, which is in most part parallel to Leus-tekova staza, but is much steeper and hikers need to be in really good shape.

VETERNICA CAVE7127 meters long Veternica Cave is the fifth longest cave in Croatia, and a significant archaeological and paleontological finding, only 9 kilometres away from the city.It is rich in the phenomena rarely found in traditional caves visited by tourists – vortex forms resulting from erosion, sand dunes, the remains of the extinct cave bear, lion, leopard, hyena, rhinocer-os, auroch, a huge deer, shell and sea ur-chin fossils, and even shark’s teeth. Peo-ple used to live in this cave, as evidenced by the traces of tools of both the Nean-derthal and a modern man. Roman coins, brass buckles and oil lamps have also been found. The cave is closed in winter, when it is the home to as many as four-teen types of bats in hibernation. TO

SOPOT WATERFALL

500 Horvat’s Steps

The rock behind the waterfall is 9 meters high, making this the biggest waterfall on Medvednica. It is hidden in the place you can reach if you take the trail from Gornje Vrapče, go to Družinec well on the romantic clearing with benches. From here go ei-ther left towards Ponikve, or right towards Sopot Waterfall. The path then takes you through a thick, beautiful forest, then steeply down to the road along Vrapčak creek, first to the picturesque meadow with benches, then to the waterfall.

8The architectural pearl of Medvednica, built by hiker Vladimir Horvat between 1946 and 1953,

is on the north slope. It is an attractive trail made of 500 stone steps leading to several small chasms, vantage points, Medvednica cave, and finally to Sr-nec landing with benches. The marked trail starts at Hunjka meadow in front of Zvonimirov dom, and it takes you 45 minutes to reach Srnec from there. This is a wonderful outing for families with children, and refreshment can be bought at Zvonimirov dom or in Hunjka mountain house. To reach the steps take trail number 39 from the top of Sljeme, parting from Činovničko sedlo and going through a picturesque and wild forest to Srnec landing.

8In 1463 King Matija Korvin granted a royal mining privilege to Count Petar

Zrinski, enabling him and his descendants to open gold and silver, and other ore mines on all their properties. With this privilege the Zrinski family was able to mine in the area of the Mining Garden (Rudarski vrt). In 1527 Petar Zrinski’s descendant Nikola signed an agreement with the citizens of Zagreb, grant-ing them the right to mining. This is when the story of Zrinski Mine begins. It has been estimated that the daily production capacity was 10 tons of ore, 5 kg of which was silver. Around 30 miners worked in the mines every day. Legends mention many secret passages leading from Zrinski Mine to Medvedgrad and to St Mark’s Church in the old town.

8This fort was built after the invasion of the Tatars in the 13th century. It is

situated on the southwest slope of Medved-nica Mountain, at 593 meters. The view of Zagreb is spectacular. The construction of Medvedgrad was ordered in 1250 by Filip, the bishop of Zagreb, with the aim of de-fending Kaptol and bishops’ estates. Around 1260 King Bela IV gave the fort to Duke Stjep-ko Šubić, and then to other Croatian gover-nors (ban). The fort was severely damaged in the earthquake in 1590, so the last inhabit-ants left in 1602. In 1994 the Altar of Home-land, a monument to all Croatian heroes, was erected. Today many fairs and concerts take place there at the weekends. Myths and leg-ends about Medvedgrad have been created over centuries, the most famous one about the mean Black Queen and the buried treasure.

A town with five castles

8Zaprešić was first mentioned in written records in 1334, when the

church of St Peter was erected. Five hundred years later the first railway passed through the town. Zaprešić was one of the first transport hubs in Croatia.The town is situated 17 kilometres west of Zagreb, and has 26,000 inhab-itants. The seven municipalities offer interesting tourist attractions – cas-tles, churches and plant and animal nature reserves. The main attraction is the Novi dvori Jelačićevi complex, a

preserved feudal estate one kilometre away from the centre of the town, as a monument of times past.Zaprešić is an ideal place for ac-tive holiday. Fishermen will love the fishpond of Zajarki Lake, Medved-nica Nature Park is nearby, and so is Sljeme, the place to hide when summer heat strikes the city. The citizens of Zaprešić proudly say their town is the town of sports – you can play football, handball, basketball, golf, and tennis, or go bowling, horseback riding, para-gliding and cycling.

Surrounded by pristine nature, Zaprešić is only 17 kilometres away from Zagreb. It is known as a town of sports and history, where noblemen built their castles

FROM CASTLE TO CASTLELužnica, a one-storey baroque castle, is located on the road from Zaprešić to Brdovec. The Rauch family used to own it, and today it is home to the Spiritual and Educational Centre of the Sisters of Charity. Januševac castle is the most beautiful neoclassical castle in Croatia, surrounded by a spacious park. The floor plan is rectangular. The main, north-south axis is emphasised on each side with a columned porticus, and there is a loggia on the west side. The third castle is Laduč, with ceilings painted by Ivan Klausen, and a beautiful French garden in the front. Gornja Bistra also boasts a castle, the one that belonged to the Oršić family. The central, oval hall is decorated with 1778 paintings with mythological themes. The castle in Jakovlje was erected in the 18th century, at the foot of the north slopes of Medvednica. It has been reconstructed several times, and its final design dates back to 1880. Today it is the home to artists, who exhibit their work in the park of sculptures.

This unique cultural and historical monu-ment is on the road to Hrvatsko zagorje. It is an estate with a castle, St. Joseph’s Chapel, the Jelačić family tomb in which ban Jelačić was buried, a park, an orchard, a vegeta-ble garden, a plough land and a forest. Novi dvori are mentioned for the first time in the late 16th century, as a nobleman’s manor, a part of Susedgrad and Stubica estate owned by the Zrinski family. Prior to ban Jelačić, the manor was owned by counts Erdödy. The neo-gothic family tomb made of white stone was designed by Herman Bolle in 1884.

also known for an excellent restaurant.

Zajarki Lake, formed through the quarrying of gravel deposits, lies

to the south of Zaprešić, in the direction of the Sava River. Further

south there is a very special ornithological reserve Zaprešić

– Sava. It is hidden among the woods and swampy fields. The creeks of Dubravica are home to river crabs and otters, who

need clean environment in order to survive, which is proof of how

well the nature in this area is preserved. In Gmajne woods on Lugarski breg there is a unique

habitat of Rosika, a carnivorous plant that has become a symbol of

the municipality, decorating the coat of arms and the flag.

8The largest, the oldest and the most popular national park in Croatia boasts 16 lakes and numerous creeks

and brooks. The park enjoys the protection of the UNESCO as natural heritage, due to its exquisite beauty of the woods and the blue-greens of the water which creates a special atmosphere. The Korana river, one of four Karlovac rivers, has its source in the area of Plitvice Lakes. The Korana has four waterfalls and flows toward the Golubinjača river. Five years ago the park recorded over a million tourists, an all-

time high. The Tourist Board claims that the beauty of this natural pearl cannot be described with words – it has to be experienced first-hand.

8The birth place of Nikola Tesla is in fact a vil-lage with 500 inhabitants. This is the place

where Tesla learned math, religion and German, and then continued his ed-ucation in Gospić, Karlo-vac and Graz. The memo-rial centre in Smiljan was opened on the 150th anni-versary of Tesla’s birth, and it comprises his home, the church of St. Apostles Pe-ter and Paul, barns, a mon-ument, and a multimedia centre for visitors.
