Krapinske Toplice is a community in the Krapina-Zagorje
County, just under 6,000 inhabitants, about 1,300 in the town of
the same name itself. It is situated some 30 km north of Zagreb,
about 5 km south(west) of Krapina. As the name 'Toplice' already
suggests it is the site of thermal spa, one of the most reknown
in Croatia. Traditionally it is also a site for the cardial
hospital, oen which is considered today amongst the leading in
the wider region. These characteristics shall be reflected in the
Coat of Arms, as we shall soon see.
The coat of arms is in a red bordered silver shield a blue
"fountain-heart". The flag is blue with the coat
of arms in the middle.The coat of arms image is based on the coat
of arms shown in tourist magazine "Turist plus", 2003
(thanks to Tomislav Šipek). The flag is seen in use on the
community hall by both me and Tomislav. That the flag is used
probably means that the Ministry approved the coat of arms. If
so, I suppose that this particular design would be on the very
edge of the graphical principles taken up by the Ministry
Commission.
