Krapje, Jasenovac

The Krapje Visitor Centre is at Krapje 18, at the far end of the village when approaching from Nova Subocka and near the entrance when arriving from Jasenovac. It provides information about Lonjsko Polje and rents bicycles and canoes; its grounds include a play and rest area. Pre-booked groups can join programmes devoted to Krapje’s architecture, the Posavina horse and the spoonbill. For an independent walk toward Krapje Đol, bring sturdy footwear, water, food and mosquito protection. Because shops and restaurants are limited across the park, purchase supplies before reaching the village.

The most practical point for drivers is the Krapje Visitor Centre at house number 18, reached by following the brown tourist signs through the village. The complex stands at the far end of Krapje when approaching via Lipovljani, Nova Subocka, Stara Subocka and Plesmo, but appears immediately on entering from Jasenovac and Drenov Bok. Nature Park planning documents specifically record a Krapje car park as part of the visitor-management infrastructure. No separate parking tariff was published for 2026, so cars should be left in the designated area by the centre rather than beside the timber houses or on the narrow village road.

Drivers approaching from Zagreb can leave the A3 motorway at Lipovljani, follow county road Ž-3249 to Nova Subocka, then continue through Stara Subocka and Plesmo into Krapje. An alternative uses the Novska exit, proceeds toward Jasenovac and turns before the Sava bridge toward Drenov Bok and Krapje. Brown tourist signs lead to the visitor centre at number 18. The Croatian Encyclopedia places Krapje about 15 kilometres southwest of Novska. Do not assume a regular public connection without checking locally; a special free coach from Zagreb was announced specifically for Architectural Heritage Days on 19 September 2026 and required advance booking.
