One of the best Croatian quizzers Morana Zibar has devised questions that will inspire you to travel to the former mansion of Count Drašković, today an attractive Visitor Centre

VIROVITICA, October 25, 2021 – Do you know which animal is a natural barometer, how many fingers an otter has, where it springs and into which river the Drava flows? These are just some of the questions of the well-known quiz master Morana Zibar, who will intrigue you and present the Drava Story in an interesting and interactive way, a project from Noskovci in the Virovitica-Podravina County.

If you answer all ten questions correctly, you will win a free welcome drink at the Visitor Centre on the banks of the Drava, which was the summer residence of Count Drašković in the 19th century.
