Zagreb
Hi, this is a map I did in a few hours in the map editor. It is the geographical map around the city of Zagreb, capital of the former Socialist Republic of Croatia during Yugoslavia and current capital of Republic of Croatia. It’s my first map so feedback is appreciated and I hope you like the map!
Some more info about Zagreb from Wikipedia:
From 1945 until 1990, Zagreb was the capital of the Socialist Republic of Croatia, one of the six constituent socialist republics of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Zagreb has four separate seasons. The average daily mean temperature in the winter is around 1 �C (34 F) (from December to February) and the average temperature in the summer is 22.0 C (71.6 F).
To the north is the Medvednica Mountain (Croatian: Zagrebacka gora), with its highest peak Sljeme (1,035 m), where one of the tallest structures in Croatia, Zagreb TV Tower is located. The Sava and the Kupa valleys are to the south of Zagreb, and the region of Hrvatsko Zagorje is located on the other (northern) side of the Medvednica hill. In mid-January 2005, Sljeme held its first World Ski Championship tournament.
From the summit, weather permitting, the vista reaches as far as Velebit Range along Croatia’s rocky northern coast, as well as the snow-capped peaks of the towering Julian Alps in neighbouring Slovenia.
The etymology of the name Zagreb is unclear. It was used for the united city only from 1852, but it had been in use as the name of the Zagreb Diocese since the 12th century, and was increasingly used for the city in the 17th century. The name is first recorded in a charter by Ostrogon archbishop Felician, dated 1134, mentioned as Zagrabiensem episcopatum. The older form of the name is Zagrab. The modern Croatian form Zagreb is first recorded in a 1689 map by Nicolas Sanson. An even older form is reflected in Hungarian Zabrag (recorded from c. 1200 and in use until the 18th century). For this, Hungarian linguist Gyula Decsy proposes the etymology of Chabrag, a well-attested hypocorism of the name Cyprian. The same form is reflected in a number of Hungarian toponyms, such as Csepreg.
