In the late 19th and early 20th century, Dugo Selo was a district capital in the Zagreb County of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia.

Today in addition to land cultivation people also grow wine and fruit on the slopes of Martin Breg.

The class of tradesmen and merchants emerged and these activities – trade, services and hospitality industry – remain the most important to this day.

There are tennis courts on Martin Breg and in Dugo Selo, or you may want to try horseback riding (the family Bunčić vineyard cottage).
