Krapina-Zagorje County

The county extends across rolling hills and fertile valleys between Slovenia and the Zagreb metropolitan area, featuring numerous medieval castles throughout its territory.

The Krapina Neanderthal site, discovered in 1899, contains the largest collection of Neanderthal remains from a single location, dating back 130,000 years.

Local residents maintain traditional crafts, including wine production in family-owned vineyards and the preparation of zagorski štrukli, a regional cheese pastry.

The county capital Krapina connects to Zagreb through regular train services and the A2 motorway, making it accessible for day trips from Croatia's main city.

The thermal springs of Stubičke Toplice provide natural mineral water treatments in facilities that have operated continuously since the 18th century.
