Sažetak
Gabrinovec Memorial Hospital is a historical site in the northern part of Kalnik Mountain. During the Second World War and great battles in Northwest Croatia, Kalnik was well known as the partisan’s fortress that had never been completely conquered by Nazi or Ustashi forces. Gabrinovec was built in a beech forest in summer 1943 and existed untill February 1944. In this period the Hospital accommodated few hundreds of injured and wounded partisans and this was the only solid object that provided medical help. In February 1944 Hospital was abandoned and then destroyed. Then, in 1979, as a part of Kalnik Memorial Site Agreement, two wooden objects were reconstructed and presented to the public with original hospital inventory that was in use during the War. It had become a very popular place to visit, but after 1990 Gabrinovec was demolished and forgotten. In 2008, the Antifascist Society in Ludbreg began with the Reconstruction Project, and during the following 3 years, the members of the Society, with a little help by local government and others, managed to reconstruct the Memorial Hospital and opened a new memorial and educational exhibition. Great efforts were made to preserve site this local historical site for future generations. Gabrinovec is open for all guests in hope that this will complete the touristic offer of Ludbreg and Varaždin County.
