Do you want to experience something different from the touristy cities? Do you want to experience something authentic and different? Then come on a walking tour in a village through nature and beautiful vineyards.
The tour takes place in the village of Novigrad Podravski and beautiful vineyards.
Start:
1. You arrive by train from Zagreb to the city of Koprivnica. With secured transportation, we go to the village of Novigrad Podravski where the walking tour through the vineyards begins.
2. We go to a nearby small viewpoint to rest.
3. If you have extra time we can go to the nearby town of Đurđevac and the fortress. There you will find out how 500 years ago we defeated the powerful Turkish army with just one chicken (actually it was a rooster, but for our story, a chicken will be okay).
4. After that, we go to the village of Hlebine because it is the world center of naive art. We visit the locals and the museum.
5. The Drava River is nearby, so we go to the branch and the main flow. We enjoy nature.
6. Plus, if you are interested in prehistory, local drinks and products (souvenirs) we visit locals to hear their interesting stories.
7. We are going to Koprivnica where we will visit the city before you leave for the train or accommodation.
8. If you are staying the whole weekend, the next day we can visit the castle in the town of Virovitica or the baroque town of Varaždin.
9. Note: part of the tour can be done by bike, which can be a short one - through the vineyard and forest, or a long one that includes a short tour of the vineyard and a tour to the Drava River with a stop in the village of Hlebine and a visit to local painters.
