Šulinec can be planned around three specific travel references: the Lonjska Route through the village, Hrupec, a dining destination at Šulinec 72, and an educational nature trail in the wider travel area. They answer different questions: Where does a route through Šulinec run, what defines the local dining scene, and which named nature trail lies in the wider regional context? First decide whether the focus should be on food and wine, the section of a route through the village, or a trail in the wider area.
A route through Šulinec
The Lonjska Route runs through Šulinec between Sveti Ivan Zelina and Marinovec. Route details may change, so check the route before setting out. The sequence of places puts Šulinec between two named locations, providing a specific reference for planning.
A dated cycling reference is the 2024 edition of CRO Race: on 6 October, the riders were expected to enter the area of the Town of Sveti Ivan Zelina from the direction of Rakovec, via Krečaves, Marinovec and Šulinec. This anticipated passage adds a clearly dated cycling reference to the village.
Hrupec: local food and wine
Izletište Hrupec is located at Šulinec 72. The Lonjska Route lists Vinotočje – kušaona vina Hrupec there as a cultural and gastronomic stop. Izletište Hrupec is a klet serving local cuisine; the culinary profile of Klet Hrupec includes traditionally prepared Prigorje dishes and various wines, including Kraljevina. The property has a grill and a spit-roasting oven. The klet is situated in the hills of the Zelina area and offers views of vineyards and the greenery of Prigorje.
The visiting arrangements also matter when planning: visits are available Monday to Friday, and on Saturdays and Sundays by appointment. Confirm your preferred time in advance before building the stop into your day’s itinerary.
An educational nature trail in the wider travel area
In the wider travel area, the 7 km educational nature trail “Kroz Zelinsku goru” runs from a spring near Biškupec via Zelingrad to the Kladešćica excursion area. It can be explored on foot or by bicycle. Unlike the Lonjska Route, which provides a direct connection to Šulinec, this educational nature trail is a 7 km route with named points in the wider area. You can therefore choose between the two routes based on a specific difference: a connection to the village and a sequence between Sveti Ivan Zelina and Marinovec, or the 7 km option on foot or by bicycle.
A food-focused visit to Hrupec requires an advance appointment; for a nature-focused day, the choice depends on whether you want to follow the Lonjska Route through Šulinec or the educational nature trail in the wider travel area.
