Our Story

OPG
Vrabec


OPG Vrabec is a family-run agricultural farm in Šišinec – a place that has been owned by the family for generations and is now being developed further with great dedication and new ideas.

We, Božica and Matthias, run the farm together and develop it step by step.

The centerpiece is a traditional oak wood house over 150 years old, which has been carefully preserved and renovated.

The house was in very poor condition and nearly falling apart – we restored it with great effort, care, and love, with the goal of preserving tradition and creating a place for future generations.

From Ruin to Renewal

It wasn’t just restoring a house – it was preserving a tradition.

Our Philosophy

We believe that it does not take much to feel comfortable: hospitality, nature, time, and a quiet, secluded place. That's why we consciously focus on:

small, personal offerings
natural environment without mass tourism
simple products – partly from our own production
What makes Us Special

The direct location on the Kupa river makes our farm a special starting point for outdoor activities.
Whether you're kayaking, relaxing in nature, or enjoying a meal together – for us it's not about perfection, but about real experiences.

We see ourselves as an excursion destination for people seeking peace and who love nature, far from mass tourism.

Welcome

to the heart of untouched nature along the Kupa river.

Šišinec, located about 50 kilometers southeast of Zagreb, is a small and peaceful village known for its clean and crystal-clear river, ideal for swimming and relaxation.

The Kupa River was designated in 2012 as an EDEN destination (European Destination of Excellence) as an example of preserved and sustainable tourism in Europe.

This is exactly where OPG Vrabec is located – a family estate with a long tradition and direct access to the river, perfect for nature lovers, kayakers, cyclists, and those seeking a peaceful getaway.
