Vanity666 Says: On November 24, 1935 the Brethren of the Croatian Dragon raised a monument to the Croatian anthem Lijepa naša domovino to celebrate its one hundredth anniversary. Kumrovec celebrates this day as its municipal holiday.
Vanity666 Says: The major attraction of Kumrovec is the Ethnological Museum Staro Selo (Old Village) Kumrovec with very well preserved village houses from the turn of 19th/20th century. The reconstruction and redecoration of these houses started in 1977. So far 40-odd houses and other...
The birth house of Josip Broz Tito
Vanity666 Says: The birth house of Tito (built in 1860 as the first brickwork house in the village) features the Memorial Museum of Marshal Tito, opened in 1953. The Museum is also important for the local folklore. Next to the house is the bronze standing statue of Marshal Tito (made by A....
croisbeauty Says: Rijeka Sutla, koja protjece kroz sami centar Kumrovca, premoscena je citavim sustavom malih drvenih mostova koji daju posebnu dra? cijelome selu. Glavna seoska ulica, kao to i dolikuje, premoscena je pravim kamenim mostom.
croisbeauty Says: Tipicna Zagorska hi?a je niska zgrada izradjena od cigle ili blata, s fasadom koja je obojana u bijeloj ili nekoj drugoj jarkoj boji. Ispred samog ulaza nalazi se drvena veranda gdje se izuvaju cipele prije ulaska u kucu. Unutra?njost je vrlo jednostavna i obicno se sastoji...
croisbeauty Says: Vrlo karakteristicna i višenamjenska godpodarska zgrada; u donjem dijelu je štala za stoku i nadstrešnica za kola, dok je u gornjem dijelu sušionica i sjenik. Uobicajeno je da se donji dio zgrade gradi od cigle ili blata, dok je kat izgradjen od drvene gradje.
Vanity666 Says: Good ambient with very good local food, good wine and appropriate prices. Located near the road, with forest and a stream nearby. You can stay overnight in several cozy rooms.
Gresne gorice: Sins and vineyards ?
IngaA Says: Gresne gorice (gresni = sinful, gorice = vineyards) is a very nice restaurant that Roland recommended us. As we could see, he is a frequenter there :)Located on the top of the hill, it gives the nice view on the panorama of Hrvatske Zagorje. Mlinci. It sounds the same in...
croisbeauty Says: Je, vu Zagorju se navek znalo lepo zabavit a na svadbi se nori tak dugo dok 'ma peèenih pajcekov i gemištov.Ob koncu veselice pajdaši se onak za prav potuèeju, jerbo navek postoji nerešeni problem kojeg gemišti jako dobro osvetle.
croisbeauty Says: Prava je šteta da su ova mrtvacka kola, kakvih više nema, bacena u kraj i djeluju vrlo zapušteno i cak prljavo.Bogato ukrašena i stilizirana mrtvacka kola upotrebljavala su se za posljednji ispracaj pokojnika. Sjecam se da sam takva kola znao vidjeti u svom djetinjstvu,...
croisbeauty Says: Vinska kola su zapravo inaèica zaprežnih kola na koja je montirana baèva velike zapremine. Služila su za prijevoz vina do otkupne stanice ili do ve?ih kupaca a nešto rijedje za prijevoz pitke vode. Èak i kada je suša Zagorac ce radije piti svoje vino nego li vodu.
croisbeauty Says: Nekada su zime obilovale snijegom koji se zadr?avao na tlu gotovo 3-4 mjeseca. Bogatije gazde posjedovale su ovakav tip sanjki koji je slu?io isklju?ivo za osobni prijevoz i to na konjski pogon.
croisbeauty Says: Prema nedavno provedenoj anketi, na vrlo velikom uzorku ispitanih, Josip Broz Tito je proglašen za najznacjniju licnost u sveukupnoj hrvatskoj povijesti. Cak ni najveci njegovi oponenti nisu mogli osporiti pravednost izbora.
croisbeauty Says: Spomenik je rad Augusta Augustincica, koji je bio omiljeni Titov kipar. Tito je prikazan u svojem poznatom ratnom šinjelu, kao personifikacija covjeka koji odlucno i smjelo koraca ususret konacnoj pobjedi i oslobodjenju zemlje od njemackih okupatora. Skulptura je odljev u...
IngaA Says: A really very dangerous person, I must say. Don't let him take weapon. His favourite scene from "3 Musketeers" is Milady's putting to death.You can see that I'm telling the truth.
Vanity666 Says: By the legend, Cesargrad was built by Knights Templars in 14th century. Medieval structure of the town consists of a semicircular stone building which had a residential function, enclosed in a system of walls and guard towers. The fortress was enlarged and rebuilt in several...
croisbeauty Says: Tkanje tkanina na tkalackom stanu bio je mukotrpan i dugotrajan posao koji se upražnjavao uglavnom u dugim zimskim danima kada nije bilo poljoprivrednih radova. Tkanjem su se uglavnom bavile seoske žene. Kao sirovina je služila kudelja, iz koje se izradjivala laka odjeca...
IngaA Says: The idea of such museums is quite popular. My visit there reminded me about the open air museum of rural architecture of Ukraine. I think that's a good way to show how people lived, how their houses looked, what their occupations were. There are wooden houses from different...
croisbeauty Says: Praf zapraf, ni lahko zapoèet prièu o negdar najslavejšijem vasu vu onoj deželi z koje smo naglavce pobegli kak stekli. Morti je to zaradi teg kaj su nas tu vlekli za vuha ak smo se hihotali v Brozovoj hiži, ampak radi teg kaj su v hiži i okolo nje navek stajali neki...
