Pušća brings together sacred architectural heritage, paths on Crikveni brijeg, and events celebrating local produce. Several buildings are concentrated in Donja Pušća; additional landscape and cycling routes are part of the wider destination of Općina Pušća. For planning, you can consider cultural sites, outdoor activities, and event dates as separate focal points.

Sacred Architecture and Local History

The Crkva Sv. Jurja stands on a plateau above Donja Pušća. It was built in the 18th century and renovated in the 19th century. The Kapela Majke Božje Čislavske is on the hill above the parish church. It was built in the 18th or 19th century in the Baroque Classicist style and features valuable Baroque furnishings, including an altar dating from 1772. Together, the two churches offer different insights into the architectural history of the area.

In the wider destination of Općina Pušća, the old school building stands in the centre of Donja Pušća, on the main road below the hill with the parish church. It was built in 1913 and features decorative details from the late Secession period. The school building adds a different architectural style from the early 20th century to the area’s sacred architectural heritage.

Another trace of local history is the late Baroque stone statue of St. Florian in Pušća. It was erected in 1778 on a property belonging to the noble Hadrovica family from Žlebec at the time. According to art historian Doris Baričević, it is one of the few statues still preserved in the wider Zagreb area and has cultural and historical value. The original is in the Pušća Municipal Council building; a replica was erected on 13 May 1995.

Walking and Cycling Routes

The “Staza života” runs along Crikveni brijeg in Pušća, up the slope from the parish church of sv. Jurja to the church of Majke Božje Čiselske. A viewpoint was built along the route at the highest point of Crikveni brijeg. Check its current condition before your visit.

In the wider destination of Općina Pušća, the Marijagoričko pobrđe is a dynamic hilly landscape with extensive, largely preserved areas of aesthetic and natural value. Cycling tourism routes that include Pušća include Marija Gorica–Brdovec–Pušća and Kupljenovo–Luka–Dubravica–Marija Gorica–Pušća. The place names in the two routes reflect different regional itineraries.

In the broader area of Općina Pušća, a cycling and walking path runs along the Lužnica stream, connecting Pušća with Zaprešić. Reported in November 2024, the path is about 5.8 kilometres long and three metres wide; its width allows cyclists and pedestrians to pass each other. Check the path’s current condition before setting out.

Local Food and Drink

Pušća is associated with a wine festival, an agricultural market, and tastings of local products at the Pušćanska salamijada and the špekijada. If you would like to include an event in your stay, check the dates for your travel period. This lets you plan your visit around a suitable event rather than assume a fixed event date.

In the wider destination of Općina Pušća, the Vinski podrum Pušća connects cultural heritage with the tradition of grape growing and winemaking as part of the InterWine project. Check its current operating arrangements before planning a visit. This keeps the cultural connection distinct from the practical details of visiting.
