Jastrebarsko

The Jastrebarsko Tourist Board is the most useful source for information on castles, the wine road, restaurants and natural heritage. The most important practical point in 2026 is that Erdödy Castle is undergoing renovation and is not available as a conventional interior visit, while its park can still be explored. For Plešivica, wine tastings should be booked in advance because wineries do not operate like museums with one uniform opening schedule. Anyone planning to taste wine should also arrange a designated driver or other transport before the visit. Central Jastrebarsko is manageable on foot, but a car or organised transfer is substantially more practical for the wine road and the dispersed vineyard locations on the surrounding hills.

Only a small number of spaces in Zrinsko-Frankopanska Street lie immediately north of Erdödy Castle, so visitors attending larger events in the park should expect to walk from elsewhere in central Jastrebarsko. Municipal car parks operate under local parking rules, with the official tariff last amended in late 2024; check the sign beside the chosen space for the current charge and payment period. Additional city parking has been developed in Franje Brezara Street below the cemetery and in Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić Street beside the outdoor exercise area. Construction begun at Trg Ljube Babića in September 2026 affected the existing parking area there, so it should not be treated as a dependable option.

Jastrebarsko has a railway station on the Zagreb–Karlovac–Rijeka corridor, making the train a practical choice from either Zagreb or Karlovac; consult HŽ Passenger Transport’s 2025/26 timetable, valid until 12 December 2026, for individual services. In January 2026, the city contracted four electric minibuses for the first phase of its own public-transport network, with initial travel announced as free for local residents. As the vehicles were still expected by the end of the year in a June 2026 update, visitors should confirm that services have begun before relying on them. The station is close enough to combine arrival with a walk or short local ride into central Jastrebarsko.
