> Bron: https://photographbyjohn.com/locations/jastrebarsko/ — Revealing Life Beyond the Lens (you see)


A Zagorje resort town since the 19th century, set around the 16th century Erdődy castle and the fish rich Jastrebarsko lakes.

Jastrebarsko sits in Central Croatia, a part of Croatia with its own character, and the city & town is the reason most people stop.

Mornings are quieter and cooler. Most old towns wake up slowly, so an early coffee is worth the effort.

## Practical info

- **Entry:** confirm entry fees and hours on the official site before you set out. They shift with the season, and some places shut altogether off-season.
- **How to get there:** Use the map above for directions. Town parking is usually paid and signposted, watch for the blue P zones, and allow extra time if a ferry is part of your route.

## Timing your trip

The best window for Jastrebarsko runs **May to October**. June and September balance warmth and thinner crowds; July and August are busy and hot. Out of season, winter shows a calmer, cheaper Croatia that rewards the inland cities.
