diocletianvs Says: 64% of the area of Medvednica Natural Park are covered with forests. Lower part is covered with Downy Oak and Chestnut Oak, and reaches the altidude of 600 metres. The middle part of the mountain is covered with Beech forests, while at the upper part Beech is mixed with Fir...
diocletianvs Says: Almost 23,000 hectares of Medvednica is within the boundaries of Medvednica Natural Park. Its basic phenomenon consists of well preserved natural forests and forest communities that cover more than 60 % of the Park. There are eight special reservates of forest vegetation. On...
diocletianvs Says: We ended our meal with an excellent freshly baked apple strudel. Great with coffee.
Puntijarka: Try everything (should be in Warnings and dangers)
diocletianvs Says: Let's see what was Boris' choice after he drove up with his car. He had trouble choosing, so he simply asked "Give me a little bit of everything". Ended with a full plate of meat, cesnjovke-sausages, sour cabbage, baked beans and God-knows-what-else. Judging from his...
polardabar Says: Medvednica is quite easily accessible & it's a great one-day escape from the city. Getting there might be a bit tougher, but it's definitely worth it!Take the tram no. 14 from the Main Square (trg bana J. Jelacica) to the last stop Mihaljevac, then no. 15 to Dolje & walk a...
diocletianvs Says: OK, enough of the motorised options. Because the main reason why you decided to go to Medvednica is to walk in the fresh air, right? From Dolje (last stop of #15 tram line) you can take the path that leads from the Tunnel up to the Sljeme peak. If you pass the tunnel and...
polardabar Says: It's a bit harder to get to Medvedgrad, an old fortificational complex the governmental people like to call 'The altar of the Homeland'. It's located in the far west corner of Medvednica [you can see something like a smaller city glowing up there during the night], so the...
diocletianvs Says: I was never a big sports guy so when I had to choose a sport as part of the obligatory sports activities at the University, walking to Sljeme seemed the easiest option. No sweat at the gym and no need for coordination as in some sports (I was born with two left legs) – just...
diocletianvs Says: Well, maybe not everything. If you're not experienced in hiking then finding the right hiking trail sometimes can be difficult. the good news is that almost all trails lead up to Sljeme peak, so you shouldn't be lost. Somewhere near the top you might also find the funny...
diocletianvs Says: If you see this sign attached to the regular tram stop sign at Mihaljevac that says “Zicara ne vozi zbog jakog vjetra” then don’t count on the Cable car. The sign says “Cable car is out of service because of the strong wind”. In cases like this there’s usually a special bus...
diocletianvs Says: Various accidents may happen in the mountain, so it's wise to know few phone numbers and put them into the memory of your mobile phone before you go. In case of an accident call Mountain Rescue Service (Gorska Sluzba Spasavanja) at phone numbers (01) 4824 142 (fixed network...
croisbeauty Says: Kapelica svetog Jakova se nalazi navrh brezuljka povrh Medvedgrada. Ovo jednostavno i lijepo kameno zdanje izgradjeno je u devetnaestom stoljecu. Tocno iznad ulaza, na krovu, napravljen je mali drveni zvonik koji se idealno uklapa u ambijent.
croisbeauty Says: Prozori na stambenom dijelu grada su prelijepi u svojoj jednostavnosti. Bijeli kamen se fenomenalno uklapa s jarko crvenom ciglom. I to su nam dali nasi stari!
croisbeauty Says: Unutrasnje dvoriste s nastambom od crvene cigle koja je u kontrastu s kamenim zidinama. Navodno se restaurator pridrzavao starih nacrta pa je sadasnji obnovljeni Medvedgrad vjerna slika nekadasnjg grada. Jedino jos nedostaje kupola koja je zatvarala vrh obrambene kule.
croisbeauty Says: Eto, vidis da ne pricam kojesta, unutrasnjost kapelice je zaista lijepa u svoj svojoj jednostavnosti. Ma koliko da se mozda ocekuje suprotno, nasi stari nisu marili za kic. Nasuprot toga, mnoge crkve i kapelice, koje su izgradjene kasnije pa i u danasnje vrijeme, najobicnije...
croisbeauty Says: Iz unutarnjeg dijela grada prema vanjskim odbrambenim zidinama vodi ovaj uski i niski prolaz. Mora da su nasi preci bili osjetno nizi i tanji od nas. Ipak, moj je utisak da je ovaj prolaz bio potpuno nepraktican za vrijeme frke, mozda je i to razlog sto je grad na koncu...
croisbeauty Says: Koštalo me dvije pivice da se popnem na obrambeni toranj s vrha kojeg je pogled zaista velicanstven. Ne samo da se vidi cijeli Zagreb, Velika Gorica i Plesivica, pogledom se moze doseci cak do Siska.Unutar tornja je izlozba foto preslika najznacajnijih spomenika pronadjenjih...
croisbeauty Says: Visoki odbrambeni toranj impozantnih proporcija zatvara kompleks grada s juzne strane. Nazalost, nasi dusebriznici, po obicaju, nemaju sluha pa toranj drze zatvorenim, a pogled s njega mora da je velicanstven, pogotovo za vedrog suncanog dana.
Dolje - Adolfovac - Cinovnicka livada
diocletianvs Says: This is the path we used to take as part of the regular "sports activities" at the University, so I'm using it most often by pure inertia. It starts at Dolje (last stop of the tram #15) - you don't pass the tunnel but climb sideby and take the path that starts above the...
diocletianvs Says: This path was recently made and also starts at Bliznec (close to the Lower station of the Cable car), but goes along the Bliznec stream. I didn't take it yet since it is paved and looks very artificial, but on the other hand it is the only path that's wheelchair-accessible...

Zagreb is situated just under Medvednica – or Zagrebacka gora (Zagreb Mountain) and its 1,000,000 inhabitants are lucky to have a natural area in their immediate vicinity. Only eleven tram stops from...

Dakle, dogovor je bio da se nadjemo na "Puntijarki" a kako ce tko stici tamo gore bilo je po osobnoj volji i raspolozenju. Neki su izabrali "kraci" put pa su se batrgali kroz vrleti i sumetinu, ja sam...

Medvednica is a mountain north of Zagreb & the whole thing is a big park of nature. Since I had sports with my university gang there, I have tons of funny memories from there... :) The highest point's...
