For those of you who are traveling with us on the June 2021 “Croatia and Beyond” journey, you will notice the addition of several new sites and dining venues.
While in Kaprina for the day, we will visit ”Vuglec Breg”, the creative and romantic vision of the Vuglec family. The Vuglec family’s aim was to convert the heritage of their ancestral home, into a lasting legacy. Inspired by the desire to create a unique full circle experience, you will surely be immersed in the natural environment of Zagorje, a magnificently beautiful region of Croatia.
Inside the restaurant, decorated in traditional style, the atmosphere sets the perfect mood for a magnificent gastronomical event. Precious coveted recipes from “Grandma’s kitchen” have been resurrected, and add a touch of authenticity to specialties such as Grandma Roza’s bread, cottage cheese strudel, veal, lamb, duck, and turkey with mlinci.
”Vuglec Breg” was built on the foundations of the old Zagorje hamlet of ”Vuglec”. This Michelin mentioned estate stretches over 12 hectares, and from the hill’s peak, one can enjoy a magnificent view of the surrounding region, dotted with houses, cottages and churches.
Great to visit any time of the year, with fireplaces for a cozy feel, or on the summer terraced pergola (Pri baki Rozi), with its outdoor cooking amenities, positioned right along the vineyard. Let’s raise a glass and toast our latest culinary wonder!

No trip to Croatia is complete without a visit to the oldest national park in Southeast Europe, Plitvice Lakes. You will be amazed as you gaze at its 16 interconnected lakes, and hear the sounds of humming waterfalls bounding across the wooden pathways surrounded by fir, birch and spruce trees. The lakes are famous for their stunning colors, which change from shades of teal, turquoise and dark blues, as a result of the high mineral content in the water. Each season brings you a unique stunning landscape worthy of any artist, or those who set their eyes upon it.
There are mysteries and legends surrounding this area, referred to on some maps as “The Devil’s Garden”. According to legend, the Plitvice lakes were created after a long drought. People, animals and plants, had yearned for water, and prayed and prayed for rain. Then in the valley of the Black Queen with her magnificent suite, she took pity on the people, and with the strong wind and thunder the deluge tumbled down at last. Rain kept falling and falling, and the water grew in great size, to form the Plitvice Lakes.
During our 2021 adventure to Croatia and Bosnia Pyramids, you will experience this first hand. You will relax on a boat ride around the lake, lunch in the park, and dine on fresh trout cooked for you lakeside, at a local specialty restaurant, in a nearby village.

Poisonings related to cleaners and disinfectants surged in the U.S. last month* as the global pandemic spurred a haphazard rush to disinfect everything. Complaints included shortness of breath from inhalation and dizziness and vomiting from ingestion. While the increase affected all age groups, children 5 and under were disproportionately impacted.
One case in particular, a preschool-age child swallowed an unknown amount of ethanol-based hand sanitizer. Her blood-alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit for driving in most states. Luckily, she recovered after two days in the hospital.
To prevent such toxic exposures, Nadona International recommends using the most effective, yet safe topical products for disinfecting; Ultimate Germ Shield anti-microbials, alcohol free! (Click here to see an amazing clip about how flammable sanitizers can be.)
Our products are 100% organic, safe for ALL ages/skin conditions, smell great, and do not dry out/burn your skin. In addition, they are vegan and free of gluten, dairy, and chemicals.

Smiljan is a village in the mountainous region of Lika in Croatia. It is located 6 km northwest of Gospić, and fifteen kilometers from the Zagreb-Split highway; its population is 417 (2011).
Smiljan is known best for being the birthplace of Nikola Tesla on 10 July 1856. Due to celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of electricity pioneer and inventor Nikola Tesla, Croatian officials opened a Tesla memorial complex, including a museum inside his restored childhood home. Today, Tesla’s birth house, together with the Orthodox church of St. Peter and Paul (built in 1765) and the surrounding area, represents a memorial complex with various exhibits of Tesla’s inventions and a museum where the details of the inventor’s life are shown.
There is also a congress hall in a nearby building. The original memorial complex was built in 1956. During the Croatian War of Independence, several of the buildings were severely damaged by fire. The Croatian authorities restored it and reopened it in a 2006 ceremony with the highest dignitaries of Croatia as well as Serbia.
Join us on our 2020 Croatian Pilgrimage, September 14 – 27, and visit many historic and interesting sites like this! A Bright Idea!
