Croatia: Krapina and Brezovica
After watching the World Rally Championship in Croatia for 3 days, Nada and me decided to have an easy day. We drove to nearby city Krapina, we found a few geocaches in the city, visited the old castle and we finished the sightseeing trip with an ice cream near the Krapinčica river. On our way back to our weekend house we did a short hike to Brezovica hill.

| View to Krapina, the central place of Hrvatsko Zagorje. |
The first written documents mention Krapina in 1193. In the Middle Ages, there was a fortress Krapina at the foot of which a settlement began to develop.
Exploring the castle, nearby hills and caves.

| Krapina is home to the yearly Festival kajkavske popevke (The festival of kajkavian song) sung in the local Kajkavian language. |
 |
| In the late 19th and early 20th century, Krapina was a district capital in the Varaždin County of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. |
