Landscape and activities
The Bilogorski turistički put is located within the municipality. Possible activities there include trail riding, sport and recreational riding, hunting and fishing, as well as hiking and cycling tours. This offers different ways to experience the area: you can focus on activities on horseback or prefer to get around on foot or by bicycle.
There are also specific places to go for horse-riding activities in Veliko Trojstvo. The Galopski klub Troja offers a riding school and recreational riding; the Konjički klub Veliko Trojstvo offers carriage rides. The Pajdo hunting lodge can organise hunts throughout the calendar year. These activities vary in form: riding lessons and recreational riding are available alongside carriage rides, while the hunting lodge can organise hunts.
Culture, history and tradition
The chapel of Majke Božje Žalosne stands in the cemetery in Veliko Trojstvo. It was built in 1858 and restored in 1883, 1959 and 1996. Designated a cultural monument, it is one of the municipality’s historic buildings. Another chapel with its own history is located in Maglenča: the chapel of Saint Florian was first mentioned in 1893; a new chapel was built there in 1971. If you are interested in religious buildings, you will find two different historical accounts here—one about a building’s construction and restorations, the other about an early mention and a later replacement building.
The Veliko Trojstvo Ethno Park houses an ethnographic collection of more than 1,000 exhibits. They illustrate the customs, culture and everyday life of this area in the past. At the centre of the park is a house where Josip Broz Tito once lived, which later served as a museum space. The Jesen na Bilogori event has also been held at the Ethno Park since 2017. The collection, historic house and event each offer a distinct perspective on the local cultural history.
Another cultural perspective is offered by the Svijetle pruge open-air gallery of wooden sculptures; some of the sculptures are located in Veliko Trojstvo. If you would like to include outdoor art in your trip, you will find a contrast here to the exhibits in the Ethno Park. The Romska kuća is an ethno-house of the indigenous Croatian Roma Lovara and also a gastronomic and cultural institution. Presentations on Roma history and customs are offered there. These are complemented by a permanent documentary-historical exhibition on the indigenous Croatian Roma-Lovara, traditional Roma music and cuisine, and lavender products.
