Full description They say that Klanjec is a small city of the ‘’big’’ people. The city is located below the Cesarska gora mountain, next to the Sutla river, not far from the Slovenian border. In the written documents it is first mentioned in the 15th century, but it is believed to be a century older because it was used in the defensive purposes, to protect the fortress up on the hill.

One of the main attractions of Kumrovec is the Ethnological Museum ”Staro Selo” Kumrovec, a unique open-air museum, with preserved original village houses from the turn of the 19th/20th century. The history of the ”Staro selo”, began with setting up of Tito’s monument, the work of Antun Augustincic in 1948, in front of his birthplace, and in 1952, the museum in Kumrovec was founded. First it started with the renovation of the birthplace of Josip Broz Tito, i.e its restauration. Today, the birthplace of Josip Broz Tito is at the beginning of the museum, and it contains historical and ethnological exhibits.

In 1977, the regional plan of Kumrovec was brought and the renewal criteria were defined, for which it is necessary to base on the authenticity of objects and their purpose at the turn from the 19th to 20th century, the preservation of cultural and historical values and restoration of native vegetation. Dilapidated ruins of the houses, valuable examples of rural architecture, should have been redeemed from the owner, and destroyed buildings shuold have been rebuilt on the same site.

So far, around 40 residential, commercial and ancillary facilities have been arranged, so that ”Staro selo” is, by far, the most attractive facility of its kind in Croatia. Visitors can tour the permanent ethnological exhibitions of traditional ways of life from the area of the river Sutla, from the late 19th century (for example: Wedding in Zagorje, Life of a young couple, From hemp to linen, Blacksmithing, Wheelwright crafts, Pottery, From grain to bread, etc.).

Veliki Taboris a heritage monument, which was rebuilt after extensive conservation and restoration works, and opened to visitors after a completed second stage of renewal. It is located in the municipality Desinić in the Croatian Zagorje. The oldest parts of this fortress date back to the 12th century, and its final look was created in the 16th century during the time of the Rattkay family, which ruled the city for three centuries.

There is a famous legend linked to Veliki Tabor about Veronika Desinićka and Fridrih Celjski, whose love story ended tragically. Veronica and Frederick were married secretly after they eloped, but the army of Frederick's father Herman of Celje caught them and detained Fridrih in the Tower in Celje, and drowned Veronica before sealing her into the walls of the castle. Another version of the legend is that Veronika saved Veliki Tabor from the Turkish siege with her charms: she turned chopped straw into horrible hornets which drove the Turkish invaders away.
