VIROVITICA, September 30, 2021 – It connects the biggest attractions of Croatia’s Virovitica-Podravina County. Historical mansions and castles, aristocratic summer houses, modern museums, old forts, passes through towns and villages, connecting the Drava and Papuk and surprises with top quality dishes. The Plemićka ruta – Noble Route – is one of the strongest assets of Slavonia and Podravina. A great choice for modern travellers looking for a relaxing holiday.

As of today, there is another reason why you should discover this unexpectedly beautiful part of Croatia. The Tourist Board of Virovitica-Podravina County presented a new promotional catalog that encourages guests to explore.

“As you explore and discover our aristocratic history, collect stamps and win valuable gifts. For all eight stamps collected, we are giving away a bed and breakfast in the Visitor Center – Janković Castle, while for the six stamps collected, we will reward you with a range of top products from our local manufacturers. We wanted to wake up the child in each guest, encourage him to play and enjoy it,” said Martina Jakelić, director of the Virovitica-Podravina County Tourist Board at the presentation of the new catalog in the beautiful Pejačević Castle, which is today the Virovitica City Museum and one of the eight hot spots of the Noble Route.
