Varaždin County, Administrative division in northern Croatia
Located at the border with Slovenia, Varaždin County extends across 1,262 square kilometers of land with a population density of 139 inhabitants per square kilometer.
The territory received official recognition as a free royal borough in 1209 when Hungarian King Andrew II designated the area as an economic and military center.
The county contains numerous baroque buildings, traditional crafts workshops, and hosts the Varaždin Baroque Evenings festival throughout its municipalities and towns.
The region includes 6 cities and 22 municipalities, with Varaždin serving as the administrative center and main transportation hub for northern Croatia.
Recent geological surveys revealed an underground lake of superheated water near Varaždin, indicating potential for geothermal energy production in the region.
