KNOWLEDGE OF Krapina
Krapina is a town in northern Croatia and the administrative centre of Krapina-Zagorje county with a population of 4,647 (2001) and a total municipality population of 12,950 (2001). Krapina is located in the hilly Zagorje region of Croatia, approximately 55 km away from both Zagreb and Varaždin.
In 1899, on a hill called Hušnjak near modern Krapina, the archaeologist and paleontologist Dragutin Gorjanović-Kramberger found over eight hundred fossil remains that were determined to be a 100,000 year old Neanderthal man.
Krapina itself has been known since 1193. It has always been a favourite site for castles and other country houses of Croatian and Hungarian rulers.
Today it is a reasonably developed town, boasting its festival kajkavskih popevki sung in the local Kajkavian dialect of the Croatian language.
There is also a nearby municipality of Krapinske Toplice (the spas of Krapina).
