A broader look at the travel area
Beyond Šulinec, the 7 km “Kroz Zelinsku goru” educational eco-trail runs through the wider travel area of Sveti Ivan Zelina. It starts at a spring near Biškupec, continues via Zelingrad to the Kladešćica excursion area, and can be explored on foot or by bicycle. This provides two distinct route connections for context: the Lonjska Ruta runs through Šulinec, while the educational eco-trail is part of the wider travel area. This distinction helps separate the town’s specific connection from the broader landscape perspective.
