History
An ancient oak forest just outside Zagreb — some of the pedunculate oaks are over 400 years old. The forest is home to the endangered Turopolje pig, a black-spotted heritage breed, and criss-crossed by easy walking trails perfect for a Sunday out of the city.
“Turopoljski Lug's oaks provided timber for centuries of Venetian and Austrian shipbuilding — a single mature tree could be worth as much as a house.”
