Humble Roots & Royal Heights
Kumrovec & Trakošćan Castle
Discover the charm of Zagorje’s rolling hills and picturesque villages on a guided day trip filled with history and stunning landscapes. Begin your journey at our meeting point in Zrinjevac Park, right next to the Meteorological Pillar, where your guide will welcome you before a comfortable drive into the heart of Croatian Zagorje—a region known for its green valleys, vineyards, forests, and peaceful rural life.
Your first stop is Kumrovec, the birthplace of Josip Broz Tito. Enjoy a relaxed stroll through the “Old Village” open-air museum, where beautifully preserved traditional houses offer a glimpse into everyday life from centuries past.
After a short break, continue towards one of Croatia’s most iconic landmarks—Trakoščan Castle. This 13th-century hilltop fortress, surrounded by a tranquil lake and dense forest, provides an unforgettable look into the noble heritage and cultural history of the region. Wander through its richly decorated interiors and learn about the families who once lived there.
To finish the day, sit back and enjoy the scenic drive back to Zagreb, where your tour comes to a close.
