After 13 months of the project implementation, with the total value of 160,000 euros, studies and reports of wine roads and hiking trails in Krapina-Zagorje county were prepared, on the basis of which the approvals were obtained and the afore stated wine roads and hiking trails of this county marked. In addition, brown tourist signboards were set up in the eastern part of Krapina-Zagorje County. In this way Krapina-Zagorje County obtained a network of wine cellars and hiking trails as characteristic symbols of this specific type of tourism within Krapina-Zagorje County.
