Municipality of Sveti Juraj Na Bregu: Nature, Wine and Landmarks
Accommodation in Municipality of Sveti Juraj Na Bregu
At 344.4 metres, Mohokos is the highest point in Međimurje. The Church of St George is visible from all parts of Međimurje and serves as a landmark in the landscape. Together, the elevation and church provide two distinct reference points for the Municipality of Sveti Juraj Na Bregu: a named high point and a building that helps visitors find their way in the landscape.
Nature and Landscape
The meadows of Bedekovićeve Grabe have been designated a natural monument. They are home to 80 plant species and 63 species of butterflies active during the day. These species counts give the meadows a distinctive natural profile; Mohokos adds a different emphasis as the highest point in Međimurje. The 04 St. George’s Trail is accessible year-round and provides another clearly identified focus for travel planning.
Park Architecture and Other Experiences
In Vučetinec, the Tulipanovac has been designated a protected monument of park architecture since 1995. Accredo Centar is an adventure park in the village of Zasadbreg. These offer different themes side by side: nature and landscape, protected park architecture, and a place described as an adventure park. When planning your activities, you can give these themes different priorities according to your interests.
Wine and Tastings
Vina Dvanajščak-Kozol cultivates 11 hectares of vineyards in the area around the settlement of Dragoslavec. The named vineyard sites include Grofovo, Okrugli Vrh and Mohokos. The wine tasting room at Vina Dvanajščak offers wines, homemade products and cold dishes. Expert-led wine tastings are available by prior arrangement. So if you plan a tasting, be sure to arrange it in advance. This makes it easy to distinguish this wine offering from the municipality’s landscape and cultural attractions.
Getting Your Bearings and Planning Your Hotel Stay
The Municipality of Sveti Juraj Na Bregu lies north of Čakovec on the Čakovec–Štrigova state road. When choosing a hotel, you can first consider which themes you want to shape your stay: nature and landscape, a wine tasting by prior arrangement, or other destinations in the municipality. If you would also like to visit regional attractions, you can extend your plans to Međimurje County without conflating local destinations with county-wide ones.
