Facts and practical information

Krapina Neanderthal Site, also known as Hušnjakovo Hill is a Paleolithic archaeological site. The site was first discovered by Dragutin Gorjanović-Kramberger, who excavated the site between 1899 and 1905 and subsequently published two monographs, which were the first publications on the Neanderthals found here. The prehistoric site itself is located in a collapsed cave, nestled in a sandstone bluff overlooking the Krapinica River in Hrvatsko Zagorje. ()
