Ludbreg

The road through Varazhdin County must take you to the Centrum mundi - which is located in the town of Ludbreg. A legend from the time of the Romans claims that it was in Ludbreg that circles of the Earth were conceived and described, on the edges of which large European metropolises are located. Apart from being the center of the world, Ludbreg is better known as a religious center. According to a legend from 1411, during the service of the Mass, the priest noticed that the wine from the chalice turned into blood during the consecration. The Ludbreg Relic (Relic of the Blood of Christ from Ludbreg) has been declared authentic, and the main religious event and large pilgrimage "Holy Sunday" gathers many pilgrims every year in August. This town of wonders and legends is the birthplace of one of the world's most famous aircraft designers, engineer Rudolf Fizir. With its combination of religious, historical, scientific and artistic material, interesting stories, vineyards above the town and the streams and rivers that surround it, it will surely be a pleasant destination.
