There is an official border crossing in Macelj, and the end of the A2 highway.

History
At the Slavonian Sabor of June 1600 in Krapina, the poor condition of the roads through Macelj was noted, making it difficult to resupply the borders of the Kingdom of Slavonia during the Long War. So the entire Varaždin County, from each of its five gates, was obliged to send one worker each to help repair the roads to the lords of the castles of Krapina and {{ill|Kostelgrad|lt=Kostel|hr|Kostelgrad}}, by order of Ban Ivan Drašković.{{cite book |date=1917-07-13 |orig-date=written 1600-06-13 |editor-first=Ferdo |editor-last=Šišić |chapter=Zaključci hrvatsko-slavonskoga sabora |pages=508–409 |title=Hrvatski saborski spisi |series=Monumenta spectantia historiam Slavorum meridionalium |volume=XLI,IV |url=http://urn.nsk.hr/urn:nbn:hr:275:730528 |location=Zagreb |language=hr}}{{rp|409}}
At the end of World War II in 1945, the forests near Macelj were the location of the Macelj massacre that took place during the Yugoslav death march of collaborators repatriated at Bleiburg.
