From downtown Zagreb to top of Medvednica (Sljeme)
Enjoy the view from the top of Medvednica (hill above the city of Zagreb). The hike can start in the very centre of Zagreb and pass through several residential quarters of Zagreb to arrive at the bottom of the hill where you can admire one of the most remarkable churches in the area. We will continue through a pleasant forest and will start with somewhat steeper ascent. After passing by an abundant spring of fresh water we will continue until we reach the fortress dating in 13th century. Gaining additional altitude, we will reach a cosy mountain hut where it is ideal time for a pause and tasting of local food. After the break it will be easy to reach the top of Medvednica (peak Sljeme, 1032m). It will be then possible to descend by taking an ultra-modern cable car or we can pick a different route to come back to downtown Zagreb by hiking.
