Beneath the towers of Trakošćan Castle, fairy tales come to life: Cinderella, Snow White and the Evil Queen with her magic mirror, Little Red Riding Hood with the huntsman, the Ice Queen, Hansel and Gretel, Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty, joined by the heroes of Croatian fairy tales by Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić. The romantic 13th-century castle gains an illuminated bailey full of fairy tales and music.
