Roads of the smallest
towns in the world
THE HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS OF ISTRIA
Many civilizations and cultures have come and gone in Istria, all of them leaving
much more than mere stories of history. In this small area you will come upon many
tiny towns. Some were established as fishing villages, some are fortified medieval
towns, and some date from antiquity. Perched atop almost every peak of inland
Istria they all have their own characteristic streets, square, church and town loggia.
Discover why Hum is called the smallest town in the world, and what inspired the
French writer Jules Verne to locate the plot of one of his novels in Pazin, and find
out why the 17th-century town of Dvigrad simply disappeared from the face of the
earth - and much more. You should not pass them by, whether you set off into the
Istrian mainland or journey along the coastline. Whether travelling by car, cycling
or walking, take a detour and do visit those small, historical communities; allow
yourself to enjoy the hospitality of their inhabitants, who will gladly recommend
where you can savour the best local cuisine, or buy locally produced olive oil, wine
and honey. The gates of these tiny towns have been open for hundreds of years;
they have beckoned many a visitor down the years. Today, they are beckoning
you... welcome!
CITY OF ZAGREB
a town tailored to the human scale
Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, ranks among the oldest towns in Central Europe, a fact borne out by written
sources dating from 1094, when a diocese was established in this area. It grew between the mountain of
Medvednica and the River Sava. Its old core is comprised of medieval Gradec – today the seat of the Croatian
Government and Sabor, and Kaptol, the seat of the Archbishop. Following the administrative unification of the
two entities and the surrounding settlements, which took place in the 19th century, the city experienced a surge
in the construction of prestigious buildings, squares, fountains, and the establishment of beautiful park-woods
and parks which today make it one of the greenest cities in Europe. A delight to walk through, the capital of
Croatia attracts visitors with the vivacious atmosphere of its streets, numerous coffee shops, restaurants and
shopping streets. If you are looking for a break on your way home from or to some tourist destination by the sea,
one that would freshen up your journey, then Zagreb is the place, and it is ready for you.
Welcome!

THE KVARNER ROAD
The meeting of different worlds is but a feeble comparison to that which one can
see and feel in majestic Opatija and Crikvenica, sea-oriented Rijeka, in Senj carved in
stone. And the diversity does not end there. It carries on to our largest islands of Krk
and Cres, the healing island of Lošinj, sandy Susak, to flower- covered Ilovik and the
wooded island of Rab. And the common theme to them all? It is perhaps that which
long ago, in the 19th century, was recognized by European aristocracy who chose
this particular area, blessed with a mild climate and lush Mediterranean vegetation,
for their holidays. It is thanks to them that the first luxurious villas and hotels
came to be built, and foundations of the first Croatian rivieras were laid: Opatija,
Crikvenica, Novi Vinodol... But the illustrious members of the aristocracy were
not the only world travellers; the mariners of Lošinj also sailed all over the world,
bringing back from their voyages over 80 species of exotic plants. The gardens of
small Istrian towns are filled with flowers, and the landscapes are resplendent with
woods, olive groves and shrubs of sage, rosemary and lavender are all around you
wherever you may go. Welcome to the Fragrant Gates of the Adriatic.

Cavtat
Start from Karlovac and venture into experiences of the sources of nature. It is not
long before the low-lying landscapes are replaced by forested hills and mountains
criss-crossed with rich springs of the cleanest of European waters that are now
quenching the thirst of people across the oceans. Do cross the winding bridge of
the town of Slunj, because a view from there allows you to see the might of nature
that man has tamed to his needs. The multitude of sparkling waterfalls heralds
the routes of the sources of nature, which reveal themselves in all their glory at
the Plitvice Lakes. The beauty and freshness of the experience of this part of the
world’s natural heritage, combined with traditional cuisine, are a very good reason
for a break. The area around the town of Josipdol is a rich hunting game reserve.
Experienced lovers of skiing will head towards Ogulin, and beginners towards
Brinje. For those seeking a direct encounter with silent and calming nature, Otočac
and the River Gacka valley is the right choice. And a mere 45-minute car ride from
Gospić, in Karlobag, you can enjoy a swim in the sea, which is always cooled by
waters flowing in from beneath the mountains.

The routes of Croatian
rulers
NORTH DALMATIAN TRAIL
The Routes of Croatian Rulers take you on a journey through time, through the old
Croatian towns that once were the capitals of the state – Nin, Knin, Biograd and Šibenik,
to the beginnings of Croatian statehood between the 7th and 12th centuries, evoking the
spirits of ancient Croatian rulers and warriors. The journey begins in the north, on the
white, rocky slopes at the foot of Velebit, from where the vista opens up on the surreal
landscape of the most intricately indented of all the Croatian islands, the island of Pag.
And Pag has lovely coves and beaches, just like the centres of modern tourism, but here
they are surrounded by an untouched natural environment. The autochthonous lace of
Pag is known and valued far and wide, as indeed is Pag cheese, its secret component being
the bora, which adds the salt which fills the air which gives it its specific and delectable
flavour. To follow in the routes of Croatian rulers means to witness the diversity of
experience offered by towns thousands of years old: Zadar , for instance, is 3000 years
old; Vodice – a vibrant and modern tourist centre; the national parks; the picturesque
settlements of the Dalmatian hinterland; of Ravni kotari and the islands. That very special
Mediterranean atmosphere enriches the soul, while the gastronomic delicacies cannot be
resisted by even the most demanding of connoisseurs.

The routes once blazed by mail coaches bring to life the spirit of old historical
roads which brought about the economic development of this area. They take
you through wide grazing lands and plains, along forest tracks, mountain slopes,
river valleys and through picturesque, hilly landscapes. Watched over by numerous
mountain peaks, centuries old forests, restless rivers, silent lakes and mysterious
caves, there open out before you countless opportunities for both rest and the
challenge of adventure. Allow your senses to feel unspoiled nature, get to know
the cultural heritage and experience the history surrounding you on your way to
the River Kupa in Čabar, in the traditional architecture in Vrbovsko, the history of
Karlovac - the town of four rivers, the small, picturesque town of Samobor. In tune
with the season enrich your holiday with hiking, cycling, swimming in a river or
lake, hunting or fishing, water sports or winter sports. Open your senses to nature,
savour the landscapes which, once upon a time, were criss-crossed by mail coaches
bringing news both good and bad and ferrying riches and passengers.

Šestinska umbrella (Šestine umbrella)
- a part of traditional folk costume
characteristic of the surroundings of
Zagreb and which was regularly carried
until the 1960s. Today, it is carried at
folklore and similar events. The greatest
concentration of these colourful umbrellas
can be seen at Dolac – Zagreb’s cult openair market.
Pepper cookie – Aromatic cookie made of
flour, honey, walnuts and pepper, rectangular
in shape, decorated with reliefs of folklore
motifs. As a traditional Croatian food it is
odd, indeed contradictory – but then, so
is Croatian history as a whole. A sweet and
peppery morsel for many a foreign palate.

Routes of ancient
cultures
CENTRAL DALMATIAN ROUTE
Follow the fragrance of cypress trees and rosemary down the road built by the
ancient Romans to equally ancient Tragurium, where its symphony in stone – each
portal, church, palace and balcony – is sure to stir the imagination and tell a legend
or two, a story of love or hope. Discover why Roman emperors chose Salona for
the capital of their province, and why one of them, Diocletian, fell to the charms of
the place where today rises the city of Split. Feel the spirit of the alkars of Sinj, the
defiance and longing of Dalmatian songs sung in Omiš; take a break on the beaches
of Makarska beneath the towering rugged rocks of Biokovo, and then set sail down
the blue routes of the ancient Greek mariners to the sunny isles offering a wealth
of wonders, the crystal blue sea, sun-bleached white stone, lavender and grape
vines which were given the gift of life by hard working hands that literally wrested
land from stone. And then, they transformed the sumptuous warmth of the south
into delectable wines.
Routes of old sea captains
SOUTH DALMATIAN ROUTE
Trails of the court fairies
THE NORTHERN ROUTE
The trails of subterranean
secrets
THE NORTH-EASTERN ROUTE
The routes of the sea captains of old traverse an area of turbulent history and
struggles for freedom, an area where trade, seafaring and shipping have developed
since ancient times, where life has always been lived in harmony with the sea and
the rivers. Get to know the ancient home of seafaring on the peninsula of Peljšac
in the Maritime Museum in Orebić, the cradle of sea captains; in Korčula - the
birthplace of Marco Polo; in the historical city of Dubrovnik, which for centuries was
an independent republic, and in the continuation of that treasured tradition in the
modern-day sea and river ports of Ploče and Metković. In these parts nature has
crafted the wondrous landscapes of the Neretva delta, a meeting place between
the river and the sea, the lowlands and the karst, the lake and the wetlands; of
the eternal beauty of the Mljet National Park, with its lakes; the Elafiti islands
of Koločep, Lopud and Šipan, with their Renaissance atmosphere; the diverse,
mellow landscapes of Konavle. Look towards the open sea where fierce battles
once were fought, where freedom was defended and guarded, and towards which
merchantmen ploughed the waters with billowing sails.
A long time ago members of the upper classes, prominent gentlemen and the
nobility, seeking to satisfy their aesthetic cravings and earthly comforts, took
great care to select the right locations for their castles, manor houses and curias.
They then surrounded them with gardens, pleasure parks and copses. The court
fairies will take you through the picturesque hills and colourful fields to Novi Dvori,
in Zaprešić - the Jelačić estate, or to the imposing town of Veliki Tabor, near Desinić,
romantic Trakošćan, the proud Zrinski castle in Čakovec, the castle of two towers
in Gornja Rijeka, and numerous other castles and manor houses dotting the hills of
this area, which once were the hub of life, work, cultural and political activities. Step
into the past by visiting examples of rural architecture in Kumrovec, get to know
the world of our primeval ancestors in Krapina, and enjoy naive art in Hlebine – the
cradle of this form of art. Let the court fairies tell you the history and take you for a
romantic journey to long gone days of splendour and glory of the nobility.
Some secrets wait for millions of years to be discovered. They were left deep in the rocks by
creatures that lived in primeval times, when this part of the world was an ocean. Ivanić Grad
revealed its secret to the world. It is quite unusual to walk the Trail of Subterranean Secrets
and experience a life that was halted such a long time ago. And then, through encounters with
the rural folk, who are the last example of a now almost forgotten, modest way of life, amid
mellow nature where grazing land and hills alternate, where time is reckoned by the sun, and
where numerous fish ponds and hunting grounds beckon one to come and enjoy it all in good
company, you will discover the natural side of your being. A barbecue by a fish pond is quite
something else than in nearby and familiar urban centres like Bjelovar, Đurđevac, Virovitica,
Garešnica, Kutina or Novska. Downstream from Sisak the River Sava soaks the woods and
wetlands of the wondrous Lonjsko polje (Lonja range), thus creating a royal cradle for fish and
many rare species of bird. Nestling among the beautiful mountains is an agricultural area which
offers food to remember, and where the local dishes can be savoured in, among other places,
Vrbovec, Bjelovar, Đurđevac and Veliki Zdenci. And Daruvar and Lipik practically cannot recall
the time when in their midst one’s soul could not be fortified by superb wines and thermal
waters.
Trails of the Pannonian
Sea
THE SLAVONIA ROUTE
Once an endless blue expanse of a sea, today it glimmers in gold, and its islands
are green mountains. All that is left of the great waters are tiny shells in the fertile
fields of Slavonia. But waters are still here – three great rivers, the Sava, the Drava
and the Danube hold this region in their embrace. People knew that in this area,
to which nature has been so generous, they would have a good home. But the
long-gone Pannonian Sea did leave its trace: a single saltwater spring in Bizovec.
Its temperature (96 0C) is quite unique in Europe. This alluring natural environment
was greatly appreciated by the nobility, so much that they built their castles here,
indulged in hunting, fishing and, of course, the wines – which were just as much
appreciated in the courts of Europe, and savoured at coronation ceremonies. World
famous are the wine cellars of Ilok and Kutjevo, also the oldest in the world. Now we
can all enjoy all the magic of times gone by. Following the Trails of the Pannonian
Sea, discover the lovely songs of the area accompanied by tambouritzas, while the
parades of people dressed in their colourful and festive folk costumes in numerous
folklore events present an amazing part of our cultural heritage.

The village of Rastoke grew out of the
harmonious union of man and nature that
reaches back over 300 years. The joy of life
reflects in the bubbling confluence of the
small River Slunjčica with the Korana, where
a multitude of waterfalls, tiny lakes and
cascades tell the story of the true beauty of
nature.

The romantic old core of the city gained its
basic contours at the start of the 18th (the
Baroque) century. It is a combination of a
military fortification and organized civic life.
The only still-preserved parts of the once
imposing bulwarks and city gates are located

The name of “Ergela” was first mentioned in 1506,
although it was founded back in the 13th century.
From the 19th century the farm was breeding
only Lipizzaner horses, and its success earned
it widespread fame. Today, Ergela possesses
exceptionally valuable genetic material which is
classed as a cultural treasure of Croatia.
