Zagreb County: Cycling Routes, Museums and Regional Cuisine

• The Naftalan Special Hospital in Ivanić-Grad uses saline thermal water and the medicinal oil Naftalan for health tourism treatments. Treatment availability is subject to the operator’s conditions.
• Ivanić-Grad has three developed cycling routes: the orange route is easier, while the yellow and blue routes are more challenging.
• The “Stopama svetog Martina” cycling route runs from the centre of Dugo Selo to the Martin Breg excursion site.
• The Museum of Matija Skurjeni in Zaprešić is housed in a former granary and displays works by the naïve painter Matija Skurjeni.
• Samobor’s specialties include Muštarda, Bermet and Samoborske kremšnite.

The three developed cycling routes in Ivanić-Grad offer guidance by difficulty and colour: the orange route is easier, while the yellow and blue routes are more challenging. Route conditions may change, so check them before your ride. This lets you start planning by choosing a route according to its level of difficulty, without assuming a specific distance or ride time.

The “Stopama svetog Martina” cycling route, by contrast, has a named destination as its focus: it leads from the centre of Dugo Selo to the Martin Breg excursion site. These provide two different reference points for choosing a cycling route: difficulty levels in Ivanić-Grad and a specific destination near Dugo Selo.

The Naftalan Special Hospital in Ivanić-Grad uses saline thermal water and the medicinal oil Naftalan for health tourism treatments. If this is important to your travel plans, check treatment availability according to the operator’s conditions. This ensures that your plans are based on the hospital’s specific offering.

In Zaprešić, the Museum of Matija Skurjeni combines a former granary with the art of the naïve painter Matija Skurjeni. The Museum of the Turopolje region in Velika Gorica offers insights into life in Turopolje through its ethnographic, cultural-historical, archaeological and art-historical collections. The two museums therefore have different focuses: one features works by a named painter, while the other covers several collection areas relating to regional life.

Andautonia in Ščitarjevo is nearby, about eight kilometres northeast of Velika Gorica. Visitors can learn about everyday Roman life, work and trade in antiquity, and experience an authentic Roman feast. The specific programme may vary.

Samobor is associated with Muštarda and Bermet, as well as Samoborske kremšnite. These specialties offer a culinary connection to the town. Vrbovec is known for the “Kaj su jeli naši stari” event, a festival featuring homemade traditional dishes. Event dates vary; check the dates if you would like to plan your visit around the festival.

Many wineries along the wine route offer wine tastings and homemade specialties by appointment. Visit arrangements depend on the individual provider.
