Donja Šemnica: Church of St. Nicholas
The landscape around Krapina is a narrow valley of the Krapinčica River enclosed by wooded Hrvatsko zagorje hills, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The Church of St Nicholas is Krapina’s parish church and a familiar landmark in the town centre, where streets and public buildings occupy the valley floor. Krapina is the administrative seat of Krapina-Zagorje County, linking this small urban centre to the surrounding hill settlements. Its wider identity reaches far beyond the town: at Hušnjakovo, the Krapina Neanderthal site yielded a major collection of Neanderthal remains, excavated from 1899 onward. The Krapina Neanderthal Museum continues to interpret that discovery.

Among Croatia’s regions, Krapina-Zagorje County stands out for the low, vine-covered hills of Hrvatsko zagorje and its exceptional Neanderthal heritage. In the country’s north, close to the Slovenian border, the county unfolds across a rolling interior shaped by the Sutla and Krapina rivers rather than the Adriatic coast. Krapina, its principal town, is home to Hušnjakovo, a major Neanderthal discovery site excavated at the turn of the 20th century; the Krapina Neanderthal Museum explores this distant past. Vineyards, thermal-spa towns and parish churches add to its distinctly continental Croatian identity.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
