Samobor

About

Samobor is located just 20km from Zagreb, near the Slovene border. It’s situated in Zumberak Nature Park and is surrounded by mountains. The town’s unspoiled nature makes it the perfect starting point for hiking. Samobor is also full of well-preserved medieval architecture. Notable sights include: the churches of Sv Anastazije and Sv Mihalja and the chapel of Sv Ana. The Samobor Castle (presently in ruins), dates back to the 13th century and once protected Hungarian-Croatian royal families. Don't forget to sample local delicacies such as kremsnita (a pastry filled with vanilla custard) and bermet (a sweet and sour liqueur) as you make your way through the medieval town.
