Mount Medvednica (Sljeme) Tours and Activities

Escape the bustling city on a 4x4 tour of Medvednica Nature Park. Discover hidden highlights, including a former silver mine shaft, 200 year old trout farm, and ancient spring, as well as included access to Medvedgrad Fortress. Absorb views of the mountain landscape as you cruise along off-road trails and look out for native wildlife, such as deer and boar, while gaining insight into the region from your guide.

Truffle hunt by bike during this morning or afternoon tour from Zagreb. With a local truffle hunter and dog, you’ll head deep into the forests of Medvednica to cycle along winding mountain paths and scout out the local black truffles. Hear how dogs are trained to sniff out the prized mushrooms, and sample truffle products at the end of the experience.

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.
