Čakovec

Located 90 kilometers north of Zagreb, Čakovec extends across 76.9 square kilometers at an elevation of 164 meters above sea level.

The settlement evolved from a Roman site called Aquama and received its current name from Dimitrije Čaki, who constructed the defensive walls in medieval times.

The Zrinski Castle houses a regional museum that displays artifacts and documents chronicling the history of Međimurje County through different periods.

The city maintains strong transportation connections with a central train station and bus terminal, providing regular services to Zagreb and neighboring regions.

Local folklore tells of a dragon sleeping beneath the old citadel, with its tail extending under the Church of St Nicholas.
