Overview
About Hrvatsko Zagorje
Hrvatsko Zagorje is a rolling landscape of vineyards, orchards and forested hills just north of Zagreb — dotted with more castles per square kilometre than anywhere else in Croatia. Trakošćan, Veliki Tabor and Kumrovec sit within an hour of each other; add the Krapina Neanderthal museum for a full weekend.
