Your guide will take you by the mountain tram to the Cable car station, from where you will climb the mountain summit and check views from the TV tower. After visiting the TV tower, you will hike down the hill for around two hours from Sljeme Peak to Medvedgrad Fort.
Medvednica Nature Park
After you leave the mountain summit, the real hike starts. You will need around two hours to the Medvedgrad fortress. In the fortress, you will have one big break for a photo session on the walls and to prepare for the last climb.

Kraljičin zdenac
The second part of the hike will be through the canyon of the Kraljevec Creek on the educational trail which will show you how the mountain once was an island.
Restoran Šestinski Lagvić
To end the hiking part you will taste some traditional dishes in a three-course meal, served in one of the most famous Zagreb restaurants.
