The role and significance of tourist attractions for tourism development in Hrvatsko zagorje

Hrvatsko zagorje bogato je dvorcima, osobito iz baroknog razdoblja, od kojih su neki u potpunosti sačuvani, no neki su nažalost u ruševnom stanju. Danas dvorci podsjećaju na visoke razine kulturnog života i arhitektonske vještine prošlih stoljeća. Izgradnja dvoraca i utvrđenih gradova na području Hrvatskog zagorja započela je u kasnom srednjem vijeku, osobito u razdoblju od 12. do 15. stoljeća. Barokno razdoblje u Hrvatskom zagorju obilježeno je izgradnjom dvoraca, ljetnikovaca i dvorišta, a ta se tradicija nastavila tijekom 19. stoljeća. Mnogi dvorci Hrvatskog zagorja rezultat su rekonstrukcije postojećih stanova i srednjovjekovnih tamnica, a neki su dvorci izgrađeni u ravnicama nakon što su feudalci ostavili svoje tamnice na uzvišenim brdima. Danas pomoću dvoraca učimo o raznim arhitektonskim vještinama prošlih stoljeća, odnosno o kulturnom životu i umjetnosti u prošlosti. Svaki dvorac obuhvaća određene priče i događaje, ili skriva prošlost koja je evoluirala kroz njegov napredak tijekom godina. Osim zanimljive kulturne baštine, Hrvatsko zagorje obiluje i brojnim drugim turističkim atrakcijama. Može se pronaći ponešto za svakoga: za one željne rekreativnog i aktivnog odmora, za ljubitelje zanimljive gastronomske ponude, za one koji žele provesti miran i opuštajući odmor daleko od vreve grada. Iz provedenog istraživanja vidljiva je raznolika ponuda koje nudi Hrvatsko zagorje, upotpunjena s brojnim manifestacijama koje dokazano sve više privlače turiste. Uz kulturološke manifestacije tu su i one namijenjene više mlađoj populaciji, poput koncerata i festivala. Iako glavninu turizma čine dvorci, iz priloženog možemo vidjeti da Hrvatsko zagorje ne zaostaje s ostalim oblicima turističkih atrakcija, a iz godine u godinu možemo pratiti napredak i modernizaciju.Croatian zagorje is rich in castles, especially in the Baroque period, some of which are completely preserved, but some are unfortunately in ruinous condition. Today castles are reminded of the high levels of cultural life and architectural skills of the past centuries. Construction of castles and fortified towns in the area of Croatian zagorje began in the late Middle Ages, especially in the period from the 12th to 15th centuries. The Baroque period in Croatian zagorje was marked by the building of castles, summer houses and courtyards, and this tradition continued throughout the 19th century. Many Croatian zagorje castles are the result of the reconstruction of existing flats and medieval dungeons, and some castles were built in the plains after the feudalists left their dungeons on the elevated hills. Today, with castles we learn about the various architectural skills of the past centuries, that is, about cultural life and art in the past. Each castle includes certain stories and events, or hides the past that has evolved through its progress over the years. In addition to interesting cultural heritage, Croatian zagorje is also home to numerous other tourist attractions.
