Activity description

Get off the beaten track with this guided walk in Zagreb's Medvednica nature park and enjoy a breathtaking view of the city!

Take a guided hike in the Medvednica nature park and discover a side of Zagreb that most visitors overlook! The Medvednica mountain is just 30 minutes north of the city centre. This nature park is unique for a large city, a real lung of greenery close to the Croatian capital! The park covers almost 18,000 hectares and is 80% wooded, with chestnut, fir, oak and beech trees. The Medvednica mountain is sometimes nicknamed "the Sljeme" after its highest peak.

This highest peak is exactly where your professional guide will take you on this guided hike in the Medvednica Nature Park. For this, your guide will pick you up from your hotel and take you by car to the foot of the mountain. Once there, you'll follow in the footsteps of the Zagreb locals who particularly enjoy hiking in Medvednica. After a 2-hour hike, you'll reach the summit of Sljeme, at an altitude of 1,033 m (641 mi).

From the summit of Sljeme, you'll have an incredible view of the city of Zagreb on one side and the Zagorje region on the other! Afterwards, for an authentic experience, your guide will advise you to have a traditional lunch of hot bean soup with sausages in a hut on the summit. This is generally how the locals enjoy their arrival at the summit of Sljeme!

Once the descent from Medvednica is complete, your guide will take you back to your hotel. After this guided hike in Medvednica, you'll have had an enjoyable day, full of learning and similar to that of a local in Zagreb!

So what are you waiting for? Book this guided hike from Zagreb and explore the trails of the Medvednica nature park all the way to Sljeme!
