Koprivnica

This small town, with the most beautiful square in continental Croatia, is in the very heart of Podravina and owes its name to the medicinal nettle herb (Croatian: kopriva). Koprivnica and its surroundings offer numerous holiday possibilities: walking and hiking trails on Kalnik, Bilogora and Crna šuma (Black Forest), bathing in Šoderica and the surrounding lakes, cycling paths, hunting, fishing on the Drava… Public events such as Podravski motivi (the Podravina Motifs), the Renaissance Festival and Ribolovci (the Fishermen) give this small city a special charm. Famous for being good hosts and cooks, the people of Koprivnica are widely known for their homemade dishes, especially desserts - “bregovska pita” (pie with 9 ingredients) and “zlevanka” (corn flour and cream cake). Good food must be followed by good drinks, so the hosts will surely offer you a glass of good wine grown on the fertile slopes of Bilogora and Kalnik or beer from the Koprivnica Brewery. Clean air, unspoiled natural surroundings and very hospitable hosts will make your stay far from the city uproar very relaxing.
