More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
On a long day that threads from Zagreb across the Drava plain to Lake Wörthersee, you arrive at Affenberg and find a clearing where Japanese macaques move like a small, social village. Biologists lead the group while macaques hop between oak trunks, sometimes daring you with a splash when the summer heat drives them to swim.
