About the destination
A village north of Čakovec
Mačkovec has a recorded history reaching back to 1376. Associations and village celebrations remain part of its community life. It makes a quieter stop on a journey through Međimurje, with the city of Čakovec nearby for the cultural part of the day.
Lunch in Mačkovec
Mala hiža gives you a reason to pause in the village for a meal. Put lunch at the centre of the visit and leave time for it before continuing to Čakovec. The combination works well when you want to explore Međimurje through both its food and its history.
An afternoon in Čakovec
In nearby Čakovec, the Međimurje Museum in the Old Castle explores the region’s history and heritage. Its setting makes the castle a natural focus for the city visit. Check the museum’s current visitor notice: work in the palace affects access to some departments, so choose the exhibitions that are available.
