The Municipality of Sveti Juraj Na Bregu can be explored through several specific themes: protected meadows, the highest point in Međimurje, winegrowing and a range of places to visit. The municipality lies north of Čakovec, along the Čakovec–Štrigova state road. When planning your trip, it helps to consider which of these themes you want to shape your stay—nature, wine or an activity.
Protected meadows and park architecture
The meadows of Bedekovićeve Grabe have been designated a natural monument. They are home to 80 plant species and 63 species of day-flying butterflies. This makes the area a specific point of interest for anyone interested in protected landscapes and biodiversity. The figures refer to two distinct aspects of the natural environment: its plant life and the diversity of its butterflies.
Another protected site is the Tulipanovac in Vučetinec, which has been designated a protected monument of park architecture since 1995. Bedekovićeve Grabe and Tulipanovac therefore represent different subjects of protection—a meadow landscape and park architecture. This gives the municipality’s natural and cultural landscape more than one possible focus.
Mohokos and finding your way around the landscape
At 344.4 metres, Mohokos is the highest point in Međimurje. The Church of Svetog Jurja is another landmark in the landscape: it is visible from every part of Međimurje County and serves as a point of reference. Thus, a specific elevation and a building visible from afar both come into view when exploring the landscape and finding your bearings.
The municipality’s location north of Čakovec along the Čakovec–Štrigova state road also helps put it on the map. When planning your trip, these details can serve different purposes: the road can help you find your way there, Mohokos is a named geographical high point, and the church is a visible landmark in the landscape.
Winegrowing, tastings and regional cuisine
Vina Dvanajščak-Kozol cultivates 11 hectares of vineyards around the settlement of Dragoslavec. The named vineyard sites include Grofovo, Okrugli Vrh and Mohokos. Winegrowing is a distinct theme alongside the protected natural sites; the name Mohokos also appears both as the highest point in Međimurje and as a vineyard site.
The wine-tasting room at Vina Dvanajščak offers wines, homemade products and cold dishes. Expert-led wine tastings are available by prior arrangement. If you are interested in wine, you can explore both the growing areas and vineyard sites, and what the tasting room has to offer. Advance booking is required for an expert-led tasting.
A trail and an adventure park
The 04 St. George’s Trail is open year-round. Accredo Centar is an adventure park in the village of Zasadbreg. The two destinations offer different ways to spend your stay: a year-round trail on the one hand and an adventure park on the other. Which option best suits your trip depends on whether you would rather focus on a trail or a specific recreational attraction.
Choosing the right focus for your hotel search
For nature lovers, Bedekovićeve Grabe and the designated park architecture at Tulipanovac offer different points of interest. Those interested in wine can consider vineyards, vineyard sites and the tasting room as themes for their trip. The trail and adventure park, in turn, offer two different activity options.
You do not need to combine these themes into a fixed itinerary. Mohokos, the visible church and the location along the state road add geographical reference points to these areas of interest. This helps you choose accommodation that suits the kind of stay you are looking for.
