t's adored by families, romantics, nature buffs, gourmets, fans of active holidays, just like those who yearn for relaxing in spas and enjoying the benefits of wellness centers. Croatian Zagorje, a hilly green oasis in northwestern Croatia, loved equally by the old and young all year long. Without exception. The idyllic view of the green hills scattered with castles, manors, churches, cabins, and vineyards, beneath which are sources of therapeutic thermal water, will awaken memories within you of your childhood, the world of fairytales and
stories. You will want to get lost in that landscape. Explore it on one of its many walking, cycling, equestrian, or wine trails that meander over its hills, depending on what you prefer. If you're looking for something to make your heart beat faster, a hot air balloon ride over Zagorje's hills is an exciting adventure. Flying in a helicopter simulator and paintball also guarantee an adrenaline-filled experience. »
