Krapina Tourist Board

The small town of Krapina became famous all over the world because it was here that more than a hundred years ago the remains of the first Krapinsky fossil were found. This was made possible thanks to the efforts of Dragutin Goryanovich-Kramberger. The result of his excavations was information that the Krapinsky man was rational - he knew how to make weapons from bones and stones and make fire. In addition to the remains of Krapinsky man, the remains of prehistoric animals were found - giant elephants, rhinos, deer.
