Epic Rides Ivanec

Ivanec – a town embraced by Ivančica.
Or Ivanščica, whichever you prefer, because both are correct.

The mountain that protects it, inspires it, and gives it its name. Here, the idyll of nature blends perfectly with the enterprising spirit of the community, while the abundance of myths and legends adds that note of mystery that makes you want to know – just a little bit more.

There’s no sea here, but there is zen. Instead of waves – the murmur of forests, mountains, and hills. Instead of palm trees – an old castle, museums, and meadows that smell of the importance of a simple life. Ivanec and its surroundings feel as if you’ve stepped into the pages of a schoolbook you once skipped, but would now gladly read. Invisible boundaries between village and town, a retreat from the noisy world, yet alive with the gentle hum of lawnmowers, tractors, saws, barking, meowing – and all those sounds that are so comforting. Sounds and scents that irresistibly recall carefree summers at grandma’s.

Ivanec is a place of movement, so lovers of outdoor activities never stop here. Trails and paths are everywhere, leading everywhere – into the forest, between houses, to vineyard-covered slopes, to neatly kept gardens, and to hills with views that can’t fit in a single frame. Ivanec is quiet, but never asleep. It knows how to entertain, how to move, but also how to slow down. It knows how to connect people with nature, children with the mountain, entrepreneurs with silence.

Of all the destinations so far, we’ve spent the most time here, searching to bring together everything we’re talking about into one Epic Rides story. And on top of that, it’s close to Zagreb, Varaždin, Slovenia, and not far from Istria, Kvarner, and Slavonia.

Epic Rides Ivanec opens the celebration of the Days of the City of Ivanec. Is there a better invitation for yet another new, completely different Epic Rides?
