Following the Historical paths of the Krapina Neanderthal man
Krapina - Radoboj - Lepajci - Škarićevo - Krapina
The beauty of this cycling route is that it leads you through historical and natural beauties of Krapina surroundings and the middle part of Zagorje.
The cycling route starts in Krapina, the administrative center of the Krapina-Zagorje County. Before or after the ride don’t forget to take a walk through the city or visit the unique Krapina Neanderthal Museum and the archeological site of Hušnjakovo. At the intersection 1 in the center, start cycling to the west until the intersection 2 with the Celjska Street. At the intersection, turn left towards the railway station. At the intersection 3 between the Ljudevit Gaj Street and Vladimir Nazor Street, turn into the Vladimir Nazor Street and continue riding uphill towards the church. Soon you will pass the intersection 4 and continue towards Trški vrh on somewhat steeper ascent, which will lead you to the center and reward you with a beautiful view of the countryside and the church of Our Lady of Jerusalem. The road continues to Radoboj with undisturbed beautiful views of the surroundings. At the intersection in Radoboj 5 (5,8 km from start), turn right and continue until the Y intersection 6 where you must turn left and continue passing by the chapel and the volunteer fire department. At this point, the route becomes particularly interesting because the road takes you over the ridge with beautiful views of Zagorje hills. At the Y intersection 7, turn right and continue uphill. Soon you will get to the Y intersection with crucifix 8, turn right and continue through the village of Vidovići. At the intersection 9 (8,8 km from start), turn left and continue to Donja Šemnica and at the intersection 10 turn right and then, next to the school 11, once again carefully turn right. Continue cycling carefully until the intersection 12 (15,2 km). At the intersection, turn right and over the small hill, and at the T intersection 13 with the chapel turn left.
Continue riding cautiously to the intersection 14, where you turn right and cross over the highway using the overpass. The route continues down the road with less traffic through the village of Gornja Pačetina. At the Y intersection 15 with crucifix, turn right. Southwest of the intersection, there is a manor Trnovec. The cycling route turns to the north and you begin riding back towards Krapina, through the picturesque valley and down the road with reduced traffic. After 21,8 km from the start, on your left side the steep road branches off and leads you to the agritourist resort Vuglec breg. At the Y intersection 16 with crucifix (23,2 km from start), you must turn right. Continue riding through the village of Mala Pačetina until Vidovići and there, at the intersection 17 (27 km from start), turn left and proceed under the highway. Continue up a somewhat steeper ascent until the intersection 18. Turn carefully right and head down the road to Krapina where this cycling route ends.
