Kalnik se nalazi na granici Zagorja, Prigorja i Podravine, oko 80 km od Zagreba. Ovdje posjetitelja dočekuju živopisan šumski svijet, poučna staza i ostaci dviju starih gradina. Manja od njih nalazi se na vrhu Malog Kalnika, a veća na Velikom Kalniku. Veliki Kalnik bio je nekoć čak proglašen čak i kraljevskom palačom. Bilo je to u vrijeme kralja Sigismunda, čija je žena Barbara Celjska, poznata u legendama i kao »Crna kraljica«, često dolazila ovamo. Grad se prvi put spominje u 13. stoljeću, a sastojao se od tri dijela. Prvi je sagrađen u doba provale Tatara, kada se u njemu neko vrijeme skrivao kralj Bela IV uz kojega se veže i legenda o kalničkim »šljivarima«. Naime, po legendi su stanovnici podkalničkih sela svojim šljivama prehranili kralja, zbog čega im je on dodijelio plemićke časti.

I would recommend this town for nature lovers. The beauty of its forests was so stunning. My kids and I took an a nature walk through its education trail and it was amazing. The forest had different species of flora and fauna.

I visited the two monumental forts in this location and was awed by historical heritage of the location. The one located at the top of Mali Kalnik and the one at Veliki Kalnik. I will visit again with my sister.

Walking through the green luscious vegetation of this location and enjoying the extensive forest and wild life was therapeutic. My wife and I connected with the beautiful nature and explored its extremities.

The village was a good visit indeed. The climb to the top of the hill and back was great, walking inside the trees and cool breeze was amazing. The view of the thick forest was amazing

The remains of the forts were great looking at, the history behind it was also good knowledge to carry back home. I learnt that it was once property of royalty family and the queen resided here
