On the Croatian side of Mura, nature is very rich in animal and plant life with many autochthonic species. Rudolf Steiner, the originator of anthroposophy and biodynamic agriculture, is one of the representatives of Međimurje ecological tradition.
Međimurje has a lot of ethnographic characteristics such as meals on Mura, rural buildings heritage (old clay houses, vineyard cottages, and traditional crafts like lace-making, gold washing, basket-making and pottery. Međimurje has recognizable carnival customs and remarkable traditional songs which were collected by musicologist Vinko Žganec. Near the ways and roads there are »pils«, crucifixes or saint’s statues.
