The house is located above the village on the hill. Street entrance is at coffee house Milecki. Parking is possible under the roof. Note that the street is narrow. When driving out, be careful not to get off the road. When driving out, also be careful not to hit the center post! Coming from Samobor follow signs for Galgovo. google maps: https://goo.gl/maps/MJG1WvxwCRAiCvDA7 Navigation: 45°45'56.4"N 15°44'11.2"E Tip: Next to the house is lavender and lemon mellise. Grab a few twigs and put it next to your bed or gently rub your skin with it. Works very well against mosquitoes. THE JOURNEY Molvice is about 1400 kilometers from Utrecht. The most "quiet" route is via Liege, Pirmasens /Landau, Frankfurt, Passau, Graz, Maribor, Zagreb. This route does have more kilometers. When you drive through Germany on a Saturday, you are hardly bothered by freight traffic. But in the summer months it is of course extra busy with holiday traffic. Fuel prices are sky high on the Austrian motorway. However, if you go into the villages you will often pay 30 cents per liter less (Make sure you are not too close to a motorway entrance or exit.) In Austria you need a vignette for eight days. This costs around 9 euros. You need a vignette for the Slovenian highway. A vignette for 1 week costs 15 euros. But you can also choose to drive the short distance from Maribor via the GPS "avoid toll roads". The journey then takes 2 hours longer and you will drive via Trakoscan Castle. This is a Schengen border crossing only. The stretch from the Croatian border to the toll sports of Zapresic is a toll road. You can save money and avoid the most expensive stretch of this road and take the "Zabok" exit and then follow the county road to Zagreb. With a combi van or roof box on your you have to pay the double amount of toll on Croatian toll roads. 2 If you enter Croatia via the border town of Bregana, please note that it can be quite busy on this border in the summer months. Its worth the effort to take the Brezice / Catez exit and continue along the road until you reach the small border crossing. Here is the location of the small border crossing. It saves you time and money because you also avoid 1 euro toll. https://goo.gl/maps/dS6c3M7LjqBCpswm9 Tip: PLEASE NOTE FROM 2019 YOU CAN ONLY VISIT NATIONAL PARK PLITVICE IF YOU BOOK YOUR TICKETS ONLINE.

THE APARTMENT The apartment is in a beautiful quiet location in the vineyards of Molvice. Six kilometers from the picturesque town of Samobor and about 18 kilometers from Zagreb. The total space of the apartment is approximately 30 m2. It is not a super large apartment but everything is there. The big advantage is that the apartment is partially buried in the hill. This ensures pleasant cooling on hot summer days. The apartment is located on top of a hill with a beautiful view over the Zumberak and Medvescak nature reserves at the front and back. There is a lovely terrace where you can sit and enjoy until the late hours. You can also light a fire on cooler evenings. Ask Nenad for some wood. You can park your car under the roof. Pay attention when parking in and / or out. The road is narrow! RATES We use very competitive rates so that we can bless you with a cheap yet high-quality stay.

No chemicals: The apartment has an ecological septic. It is important that you do not deposit chlorine, bleach, make-up cleaners and hair color rinses down the drain. Makeup: Do not use towels to remove makeup or nail polish! Cooking and baking: Because you sleep and live in the same room, we kindly request you not to make fish dishes or spicy dishes due to the smell. Please use the extractor hood when cooking. Outside grill and wood: Do you want to light a fire outside or use the grill as a barbecue? You can buy timber through Nenad for a small voluntary contribution. We provide a clean bbq grid for every guest to combat bacteria. This can also be obtained from Nenad or Zorica and costs five euros. Laundry service: Would you like to have your clothes washed? Just ask Zorica. This comes to 5 euros each time (including drying). If you also want to have the laundry ironed, € 7.50 will be added. If you stay longer than three days and you do not have enough towels, please report this to Zorica. Ventilation: Because the apartment is partially buried, ventilation is an absolute must. Leave one 4 window on the tilt position as often as possible. Feel free to ask for a fan if you like to cool the apartment. Garden furniture: Please be so kind to put the cushions of the garden set indoors when it rains. Waste: We separate waste; plastic, glass and paper. Please note that bottles and soda cans in Croatia contain a deposit. So don't throw them away! You can put the remaining waste in the green container at the top under the roof. Unfortunately, there is no provision for bio-waste. This must therefore also be disposed of with the residual waste. Coffee pods and toilet paper: Coffee pads for the Senseo are a rarity in Croatia. They can only be obtained from the Muller drugstore chain. So bring your favorite pads from the Netherlands. Toilet paper is available for the first days. Pets: Dogs are not permitted in the apartment. Damages: Please report if a glass or plate is broken. You do not have to reimburse this. Any other kind of damage please report before your departure. TIPS: ZUMBERAK AND SAMOBORSKE GORJE Between Ozalj and Samobor lies the Zumberak / Samoborske Gorje nature park.
