Krapina and Zagorje – a fairytale at hand đź§š

Krapina and Zagorje – a fairytale at hand đź§š

Krapina is my hometown. Zagorje runs through veins. Kajkavian dialect is spoken out loud by my core.  So please, allow me to show you a portion of heaven given to us people from Zagorje to enjoy, nourish, and remain proud.  Krapina Krapina was first mentioned in 1193. It has always been a favorite site for…

Some historical evidence suggests…

Rapallo was never on my list. I never thought there could actually be something about this city. It lies on the Ligurian Sea coast, just between Cinque Terre and Genoa. As a girl from Croatia, I know it from the history books as the Treaty of Rapallo was signed there, in Villa Pagana, formerly known as Villa Spinola. A treaty…

San Marino

San Marino

đź§€Rochefort, Belgique

đź§€Rochefort, Belgique

Ardennes are super fun to visit. They are cold but there is loads of trails to discover. Hence, after so many locations, Rochefort was on the route as well. Its ancient position at the crossroads where the route to Saint-Hubert crossed that from Liège to Bouillon required fortifying: the ruins of the old castle, which gave the place its name and…
