Zagorje hills

If you can't go to the sea, go to the hills of Zagorje. The view of them will enchant you as much, if not more, than the view of the sea.

In the far northwest of Croatia, along the border with Slovenia, lies the region of Hrvatsko Zagorje. Its hilly landscape is breathtaking, especially in spring and summer, when the green slopes are in full bloom. This magical region, known as "a fairy tale at hand", attracts visitors from all over Europe with its natural beauty, healing thermal springs, local cuisine, top quality wines and the friendliness of its locals.

Hrvatsko Zagorje is the perfect destination for lovers of active vacations, history and hedonism. Here you can explore historic castles such as Trakošćan, Veliki Tabor and Erdödy Castle, which tell the stories of Croatian noble families. Of particular interest is Veliki Tabor Castle, located on a hilltop in the village of Hum Košnički, which offers an incredible view of Zagorje and Slovenia. It was declared a cultural monument of the highest category by UNESCO, and its history and the legend of Veronika Desinić attract many visitors.

For nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, Zagorje offers biking and hiking trails through fairy-tale landscapes. Vineyards and green forests provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation or active exploration. A special attraction are the thermal springs around which modern wellness centers and campsites have been built. Here you can enjoy swimming pools, spa treatments and water parks, while restaurants offer authentic Zagorje dishes prepared with local ingredients.

Another experience not to be missed in Zagorje is a visit to rural households, where you can taste homemade dishes and wines from local vineyards. The region is known for its top gastronomic specialties and the warm welcome of its hosts, which makes every visit unforgettable.
