Visit Mura Mill
Once upon a time, at the beginning of the 20th century, there were almost 90 mills operating on the Mura River. Year after year, decade after decade, technology advanced and the mills fell into oblivion one by one. The last one was closed in the 1980s near Žabnik, near Sveti Martin na Muri. It was later renovated and became an interactive monument to the former way of life. The mill has been converted into a Visitor Center and is dedicated to Franc Žalar, the last miller of the Međimurje region. In the renovated old mill, you can see what his life was like and step back in time. At a time when wooden mill wheels fed the entire Međimurje region.

Cycling in Međimurje
Međimurje is ideal for cycling. The region is relatively small, so you can take tours with a variety of terrain and content in one day or, depending on your fitness and affinity, in just a few hours. The trails are mostly paved secondary roads with little traffic or well-maintained gravel roads. They are ideal for family vacations and socializing. Cyclists can choose between easier and more demanding sections, road and off-road routes, and there are also terrains adapted for XTC and cross riding. They pass through beautiful natural landscapes and connect various cultural and historical monuments, restaurants, wine houses, guesthouses, rest areas and viewpoints. Source: visitmedimurje.com

A small town with big emotions, that's how the locals call their town. And indeed, Čakovec is not large in terms of area, just enough for you to get to know it all and absorb its spirit and atmosphere. The town itself has a rich history marked by the Zrinski family, from whose time the town's greatest landmark remains. The Old Zrinski Castle is located in the city center, and this former fortified castle is now a cultural property of national significance. On Franciscan Square, take a look at the monastery and church, and not far from them is the Commercial Casino, a luxurious building from the beginning of the 20th century built more than a hundred years ago for the merchants' association.
