What You Will Do
Enjoy a private hiking tour above Zagreb on the mountain of Medvednica. When visiting Zagreb, it is a great outdoor activity which the local people traditionally do. Also includes delicious chestnut picking and tasting in a privately held property in Medvednica (in Chestnut season only).
From a crowded city in less than half an hour, you will be on a green and peaceful mountain to relax in nature. If you are lucky, you can even see a rabbit or a deer, and taste fresh water directly from the natural spring on the trail.

Wonderful Fall Adventure!
2019-10-21
Absolutely outstanding Fall experience minutes from central Zagreb
2019-10-21
Absolutely wonderful guided hike and experience. My wife and I were picked up outside our Airbnb and driven by the guide approximately 20 minutes outside of town to the beautiful Medvednica Hiking area that overlooks the city. First 20-30 minutes of hiking was up a beautiful common trail but the guide quickly took us "off piste" to through more remote trail to hike to her family chestnut tree farm, which is on the mountain/wilderness area. Hike from primary trail to family plot includes wonderful views overlooking Zagreb and the surrounding hillside. Truly incredible escape from the city walking among the Fall changing of the leaves. Only people we came across for several hours of tramping/chestnut picking were a few local mushroom pickers. Guide provides explanation on picking and then preparing chestnuts the when you get home. I can't recommend this 1/2 day escape enough! Guide provide wonderful insights on wild herbs growing in the area and provided us with a few surprises that I won't ruin by elaborating upon here. Guide drove us back to our airbnb by early afternoon.
Nice and relaxing hike in Zagreb

Medvednica is just less than 30 minutes drive from the city centre. The hiking trail is beautiful with lots of trees. It was not chestnuts season but still there were lots of berries along the trail. Petra, our guide, was a wonderful person, she thoughtfully prepared us chesses and snacks and told us a lot about the nature and the country. To sum up, it is a great idea to spend half a day to explore the countryside of Zagreb.

I can't recommend this enough. There are a few steep sections of the trail, but this is a great adventure for adults or families, and Petra is happy to take it at your pace. It was a wonderful day and Petra was an amazing guide. We're looking forward to working with Petra again for our next visit. She organizes all kind of hikes and experiences around Croatia.
