Medvednica is a mountain in central Croatia, just north of Zagreb. The highest peak, at 1,035 m is Sljeme. The most significant phenomenon of the Medvednica Nature Park are forests, which cover 81% of the park surface.
Mount Medvednica is a very rare example of a nature park merging with a capital city. You can see those majestic green hills from any corner of the city. They are like a beacon gracing the northern skyline. The city and its mountain have a long history together. Medvednica has been a rock to Zagreb, always having its back against enemies and cold winds.
Hiking on Medvednica is one of the favourite pastimes for Zagreb locals. They flock there to enjoy the fresh air, hang out with friends and admire fantastic views of Zagreb. Of course, all that combined with simple but unbeatable home-cooked food.
You leave the noise behind and enter the enchanting woodland with plenty of mysteries waiting to be discovered.
The children know Medvednica very well. That is why it was not difficult for us to imagine its nearness to the city of Zagreb, its trails, waterfalls and everything that makes Medvednica a symbol of our history and of contemporary life style.
