Overview

Mobile ticket
Explore the side of Zagreb most visitors often overlook in a company of a private guide. Medvednica is a mountain that guards the city of Zagreb to the north located just 30 minutes from the city centre.
Medvednica is a famous weekend getaway where locals go to enjoy fresh air and beautiful views of the city. We will follow their steps to see a unique different side of Croatian capital city.
Leaving the city noise behind we will take one of many hiking trails into the dense forests of beech, oak and chestnut to reach its highest peak Sljeme at 1033 m. We will have a stunning view of Zagreb to the one side and Zagorje region to the other. Best way to be a local on Sljeme is by eating a traditional lunch of warm bean soup with sausages in the hut at the top.

5.00The hike was beautiful and the views were amazing! The guide was extremely kind and accommodating, she taught us some Croatian and told us about some of the local plants and animals, as well as the history of the mountain. It wasn’t an easy hike, but it was very rewarding. I would highly recommend hiking this mountain with a guide, as I doubt we would have found our way through it without the help of a guide.
Great experience, lovely forest trek.

5.00Very enjoyable trek up to the highest point of Sljeme. Very good communication before the tour . Tomas was an excellent guide, he chose a trek of approx 2 hrs up through the forest to the summit approx 700 m elevation.There we had a typical Croatian lunch with great views. Restaurants prices were reasonable.My friend was tired so we took the gondola down instead of trekking, so if you don't want to strain at all, take the gondola up 10 e ticket and walk down Tips: trekking poles came in useful. Try booking during the week so there are less people around. Lovely greenery away from the city Highly recommend Tomas and his company! Thank you!
Great way to spend the day!
