Medvednica Nature Park

Mt Medvednica is just north of the city of Zagreb and is home to the Medvednica Nature Park, established in 1981. The park is popular with outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy the walking and hiking trails, ski trails, including ski lifts, and restaurant and accommodation facilities. A popular hike leads to the summit of Sljeme at 1033m / 3388ft. It can also be accessed by cable car. Veternica cave is also located on the mountain and has some evidence of prehistoric man.

In the spring the Mdvdnica Nature Park comes alive with wildflowers, and in the autumn the fall colors turn the park a beautiful golden color. The park is at its busiest during summer Sundays. There are also picnic tables and benches for those who just want to come and relax.

The park also includes a Zrinski Mine and the Veternica Cave.
