Novi Marof

A town in the Hrvatsko Zagorje hills at the foot of Ivanščica, a modest market centre that grew around a 14th century estate.

Novi Marof 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.
