Perhaps the most astonishing landmark of the area is the excavation site of a 100,000 year old Neanderthal man in caves near the central town of Krapina. The "modern" Krapina itself has been known since 1193, and always a favorite site for castles and other country houses of Croatian and Hungarian rulers.
Other towns of the county are Zabok , Pregrada , Zlatar , Oroslavje , Donja Stubica , Klanjec . The town of Stubica features another thermal spring, the Stubicke toplice ("toplice" means spa). Also in the area are medieval castles Veliki Tabor , Miljana , Bežanec , Hellenbach , Januševac etc.
