Municipality of Sveti Juraj Na Bregu: Nature, Mohokos and wine

Nature and orientation

The meadows of Bedekovićeve Grabe are designated a natural monument. The area is home to 80 plant species and 63 species of diurnal butterflies. These figures make it particularly interesting for visitors with an interest in flora and fauna. The protected status and biodiversity give the meadows a significance beyond that of a mere stretch of landscape.

At 344.4 metres, Mohokos is the highest point in Međimurje. The Church of Sveti Juraj serves a different purpose as a landmark: it is visible from all parts of Međimurje and acts as a point of reference in the landscape. Height and visibility thus provide two different reference points for understanding the municipality and its surroundings.

The 04 St. George’s Trail is accessible year-round, adding a route with explicitly year-round access to the nature sites mentioned here. In Vučetinec, the Tulipanovac has been protected as a monument of park architecture since 1995. Alongside nature and walking routes, protected park architecture and its history also come into focus.

Wine and different experiences

Vina Dvanajščak-Kozol cultivates 11 hectares of vineyards in the area around the settlement of Dragoslavec. The named vineyard locations include Grofovo, Okrugli Vrh and Mohokos. Mohokos thus features in two different contexts: as the highest point in Međimurje and as one of the named wine-growing locations.

The tasting room at Vina Dvanajščak offers wines, homemade products and cold dishes. Guided wine tastings are available by prior arrangement. If you plan to include a tasting in your trip, factor in the need to book in advance. This lets you make the municipality’s wine connection part of your plans without equating it with a simple walk through the vineyards.

The Accredo Centar, an adventure park, is located in the village of Zasadbreg. This is a different vacation focus from the meadows, park architecture or wine tasting. If you are planning together, you can weigh up these themes according to whether nature, good food and drink or an adventure park best matches your interests.

Location guide for finding a holiday apartment

The Municipality of Sveti Juraj Na Bregu lies north of Čakovec, on the Čakovec–Štrigova state road. This location provides a concrete point of reference for choosing where to stay. When looking for a holiday apartment, you can combine it with your preferred vacation focus: for example, the nature attractions of Bedekovićeve Grabe, the wine connection in the area around Dragoslavec or the adventure park in Zasadbreg. That way, you can choose your accommodation based on the character of your stay, rather than on assumed amenities.

In the wider destination of Međimurje County

If your travel plans extend beyond the municipality, Međimurje County offers other regional attractions. Within the county, the Mura–Drava Regional Park covers 16,962.54 hectares. Another option is the Osojnički Gallery in Grabrovnik: an international outdoor sculpture collection that is open to visitors year-round.

Urbanovo is also part of the wider destination of Međimurje County. The international festival celebrating Pušipel and the Međimurje wine scene takes place every year in mid-May in Štrigova; the exact dates can vary from year to year. This means travel plans can bring together two different timeframes: the sculpture collection, which is open year-round, and an annual festival with specific dates that vary.
