Sljeme
As far as relaxation and recreation is concerned, Sljeme is the favourite destination of citizens of Zagreb and tourists, an unparalleled site on the Zagreb tourist map.
This highest peak of the Medvednica Nature
Park that can be reached by car or foot, is only 17 kilometres away from
Zagreb, and is visited by many people
who decide to spend a weekend in Zagreb. Apart from hiking and cycling paths,
Sljeme is criss-crossed with ski runs, and the newly built one offers an
unforgettable pleasure of recreational night skiing that contributes to the
Zagreb night
life during winter.
Ski competitions also take place at Sljeme, among others, the FIS World Ski
Cup for women.
Hikers and nature lovers like to stop for refreshments at one of its mountain shelters that offer traditional Zagorje cuisine, and the culinary map of Sljeme also includes taverns and restaurants.
