Into the Forest

per person

Zagreb is charming. Harmonious architecture, urban vibe, bursting with creativity…. but there must be more to Zagreb than it’s city center, right? After all, within the narrow city center you can already feel the influence of tourism. How about a unique local experience that will change your perspective of the city?

Do you know that people from Zagreb enjoy visits to their beautiful green mountain called Medvednica? Do you know they simply adore walking around their city until it takes them to places they haven’t even been aware of? That’s what we’d like to offer through this tour. We want to take you to our favorite places on the north side of the city, far away from the crowds. To show you witnesses of the times long past, from an incredibly peaceful baroque pilgrimage spot, to some abandoned objects at the foot of mount Medvednica.

After we explore the amazing places the tour guide books don’t mention, we can stop by a cosy traditional mountain restaurant for a lunch.

This tour is designed as a private tour. It can be suitable for small groups of friends or families, but adventurous bigger groups enjoy it just as well. The tour lasts cca 5 hrs. Please, wear comfortable shoes and we advise you to dress in layers. We’re not going to hike the mountain, but we’re going into the forest at the bottom of the mountain and some parts of the terrain are uneven. It’s always a few degrees colder in the woods. Please, make sure to put an insect repellent on, because the most dangerous animals in the forests of Zagreb are the smallest ones (especially ticks).

If you have any special needs or requirements, anything that might be limiting, please let us know before the tour and we’ll adjust it according to your wishes. It is possible to stop for lunch or a short break in a mountain lodge (additional costs of a meal and one drink can be around 15 EUR).

This is a walk in nature and it can be canceled in case of bad weather.
