Descrizione:
Ludbreg is one of the most important regional centers in the area of Varaždin County and beyond. Its advantages are excellent position, good traffic connections, secure and well-equipped transport infrastructure and a rich cultural and traditional heritage. Ludbreg is a town located in the northwest of Croatia, in Podravina, in the east of Varaždin County, at the crossroads of picturesque hills of Kalnik above the tiny plain of Podravina. Archaeological remains demonstrate that Ludbreg has been rooting its roots since the pre-Roman period and throughout history has had a significant role in this area as a traffic, trade, craft and religious center, and today it is the "center of the world" not only for its inhabitants, but for numerous tourists who visit it daily. Ludbreg is full of legends. One concerns the beautiful Ludberga after whom the town was named, but the most famous one claims that Ludbreg is the centre of the World, i.e. centrum mundi, because—in ancient times—the Earth's circles were described from Ludbreg and, from them, the positions of all larger European cities! Exactly opposite Ludbreg, on the other side of the World, is Ludbreg's antipode, the small South Pacific island of Antipodes and a relic of the ancient counter-Podravina.
