Hrvatsko zagorje an its famous hills invite you to spend peaceful moments in nature.
Zagorje is a region characterised by numerous forests, thermal springs and culinary delicacies.
The endless vineyards of Zagorje rolling on the gentle, green slopes leave few people indifferent.
One of the mos important discovery sites of the Neanderthal man in the world can be found in Zagorje. The Krapina Neanderthal man was found on Hušnjakovo brdo (Hušnjak Hill).
The new museum of the Neanderthal is called Neanderthalland and is scheduled to be opened in January 2010.
Zagorje abounds in historical tales and popular legends.
Hrvatsko zagorje has many thermal springs, widely famous since the time the Romans ruled over the territory of Croatia.
The most famous springs in Zagorje are:
- Stubičke toplice Spa Resort,
- Tuheljske toplice Spa Resort,

During the course of history, masses of people fled from the Turks and found refuge in Zagorje. The nobility, the majority of whom moved to the Zagorje region, began to build castles, the most famous being Trakošćan Castle and Veliki Tabor Castle.
Hellenbach Castle is located near Marija Bistrica in Hrvatsko zagorje. It is one of the rare castles that has managed to preserve the lifestyle and interior design identical to that of the 19
th century. The Neoclassical-style castle was built in 1786.
Just like the old Croatian nobility, you can also "find refuge" in Zagorje, in the recently opened Bluesun Kaj Hotel in Marija Bistrica.

The doors od Kaj Hotel are wide open, and our wellness centre will re-energise your at the speed of light with its program designed espeially for you.
