"Dobrodosli" - Welcome friends! Ever since I could remember I've always wanted to travel all over the globe. . . . and now I became an untiring traveler and travels became my life! Since then on, I have been visiting most of the world, its oceans, and seas, islands, mountains and volcanoes, deserts, jungles, remote tribes, etc. Among all world's gems, I might also point out the region where I live - the Balkan peninsula. It provides so many beauties and diversities concentrated in a small place that is difficult to find anywhere else in the world. Untouched and charming Mediterranean coast with thousands of islands, Alps mountain range, biggest caves, lovely castles, ancient remains, natural wonders, the mixture of different religions, civilized and primitive people, modern and old, a touch of Orient and its culture, pleasant weather, perfect gastronomy, . . . I do tirelessly discover these hidden pearls of our small Balkan paradise every year. I just simply love it! In my tours, you will not just visit the country as everyone do, but feel and enjoy every single tour differently with decades of my own experiences. So my friends, are you ready to touch the deepness of our Balkan and its unique cultures? I possess a valid tourist guide license for all EU countries. The world is my home and I spend half of the year working abroad every year as a tour guide for almost three decades. There are only a few countries I have not been visited, thus I have the privilege to combine the knowledge and experiences from almost everywhere in the world. This enlightenment is delivered to you for a better understanding of Croatia, its surrounding area, and the Balkan peninsula.

Overview of your Zagreb tour

After visiting Zagreb, many travelers would love to visit its mountain Medvednica - the guardian of the city on the North. One of Zagreb's unique features is having Medvednica nature park at its doorstep thus you can see those majestic green and forested hills from any corner of the city. The name Medvednica could be translated as "bear mountain", with its highest peak Sljeme at 1. 033 m. Here we organize every year the FIS World Cup slalom skiing races, known as the Snow Queen Trophy, bike races and running competitions. This is the place to relax and enjoy the nature. Thus explore our mountain and squeeze out most from it in one day. So, let's start walking, along side a passionate hiker. . . me!

Your Zagreb tour itinerary

At the very beginning we pass Medvedgrad fortress, from 13th century, with nice panoramic view over the Zagreb below. - see near the castle stands a monument devoted to the Croatian soldiers who fought for independence. - while visiting the Medvedgrad fortress, you will feel as you hear the knights coming back from the battlefield! - from here we start climbing first to an ore mine, that was once rich in lead-zinc and silver ore. Because of extremely hard work, miners would first pray in a wooden chapel of St. Barbara, before descending into the underground corridors. Listen very carefully and you can hear the whisper of ancient prayers. Let's discover a part of their secret! GOOD LUCK! - later on we reach the ski slopes on the top of Medvednica. - here we have a lunch break. - The tour finishes in Queen's well, one of the strongest springs of Kraljevac stream.

What's not included
Other: Personal expenses. Make sure to bring light alpine equipment with you (appropriate low or high boots, soft-shell clothing, wind-stopper in case of bad weather, one bottle of water). In spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) could be rainy and windy but very nice. In spring the nature is waking up in hundred of colors while in autumn it is wrapping up in soft warm colors. In Summer (June to August) is hot that is why soft-shell shorts and T-shirts are enough. Winter (December to February) is very cold (mostly around 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit), so make sure you have enough warm clots with you. Gloves and cap are must.
