Light filters across low Zagorje hills as the van eases off the main road and the Sutla River dares you to slow down. The open‑air museum of Kumrovec unfolds like an intact chapter of 19th‑century rural life: pressed‑earth walls, thatched and wooden roofs, and compact courtyards that still smell faintly of wood smoke and hay.
