About Zagreb
Zagreb is one of the most vibrant European cities, reach in cultural heritage, a dynamic atmosphere, and breathtaking green areas. The southern mindset is so strong in Zagreb that even in the winter months people flock to café and restaurant terraces. Nothing really puts a stop to having fun in the city’s streets and squares.
This fusion of Central European and Mediterranean lifestyles makes Zagreb a metropolis where everything is just around the corner. It’s in an urban patchwork such as this, where some areas fizzle with energy and others are tranquil and balmy, that everyone gets a piece for themselves. There is no one single Zagreb, and this is what makes Zagreb a singular city. More about beautiful city of Zagreb read on link: https://www.infozagreb.hr/en/about-zagreb
About Mount Medvednica
Medvednica or the Zagreb Mountain rises behind the city’s back and for the locals it is the most popular place for relaxation and outdoor activities. Colloquially called Sljeme, after the highest peak of 1,033 metres, it is the favourite getaway for all generations, at any time of the year. This wooded, 40-kilometre wide mountain range holds many attractions and points of interest, so at the same time it can be a training ground for future Olympic skiing champions or a peaceful location for a family picnic.
Mount Medvednica is a very rare example of a nature park merging with a capital city. It is the area in which natural, cultural and historic values interlace and depend on each other. To the dwellers at its foot, this great beneficial mountain has been presenting wood and coal, salt and stone, silver and water and their mill – in general, the source of life and protection.
