Programme suggestion – Koprivnica on bicycle<\/h1>\n<\/div>

“From Leonardo da Vinci to today – Koprivnica Open-air Museum of Bicycles”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The bicycle has a special status in Podravina. Even today, in the era of various motor vehicles, it is an almost essential means of transport of every person from Podravina. Therefore, it is no wonder that, when you are in Koprivnica, you can see both the young and the elderly on this pretty vehicle. Citizens of Koprivnica want to make their contribution to ecology, the improvement and enhancement of health, the preservation of natural environment and the healthy lifestyle. If you add the fact that the town of Koprivnica has built about 50 km of cycling trails, and that it was among the first to launch the “free town bike” action, it is clear that Koprivnica is one of the “most cycling” towns in Croatia.<\/p>\n

9 a.m. – arrival in Koprivnica, meeting with the tour guide at the Koprivnica bus station, a panoramic ride through a part of the town by bus. Arrival at Ban Jela\u010di\u0107 Square, from where a walk through the Koprivnica Open-air Museum begins. We start from Leonardo da Vinci’s bicycle, a replica of the one from 1510, then we go to the “Draisine” from 1818, and then to the first pedal bike. We are doing a circle around the park and the centre, where, with each new replica, we see more modern bikes, up to the last of the seven replicas – the “Mountain Bike” from 1980. Our tour continues on Leander Brozovi\u0107 Square, where the Town Museum is located (possibility of entrance for a price) and pilasters with statues of protectors of Koprivnica. A walk through the town’s park with the musical pavilion to the Town Hall (architecture and peculiarities of the 16th and 19th-century buildings) and Florijanski Square – one of the most beautifully landscaped squares of continental Croatia. A short repose on the main town square. There is the modern first monument to the bicycle and cycling called “Circle” at the junction of Florijanski and Ban Jela\u010di\u0107 Square. A meeting with costumed cyclers. There is a possibility of organising workshops for children (from 1st to 6th grades of school).<\/p>\n

11 a.m. – a visit to the Museum of Nutrition, which is, for now, the only one of its kind in Croatia, where ethnographic, industrial technology, etiquette and two-dimensional packaging, propaganda material, photos from the history of Podravka, antique dishware and many other interesting collections are kept.<\/p>\n

12 a.m. – a visit to Podravka, “a company with a heart” that has “won over a great part of the world” with its food products, a tour of one of its production plants.<\/p>\n
