Zagorje
Housed in two traditional cottages near the village of Donja Stubica, Majsecov Mlin serves local mainstays, seasonally inspired and cooked up by one of Zagorje’s best chefs. Try the delicious steak with nettle chips and Zagorje-style pesto.
On-site is an old mill, which to this day grinds maize for use in corn flour. In summer months, small producers sell their edible wares at the little market here. You can also spend the night in one of five rooms (singles/doubles 200/360KN).
