Plitvice jezera


1. The capital: Zagreb

So, if you are taking the plane you will probably land in Zagreb, the capital. Our recommandation is to stay in the city for a couple of days. If you need the accomodation check out this site.


2. Nature in the city: Nature Park Medvednica

From Zagreb you can easily go to Nature park, mountain Medvednica.

You even do not need the car – you take the tram number 14 – go to the last station, than take tram number 15 – also to the last station – you are bellow Medvednica. From that place go by foot – it will about 2 hours to reach the top called Sljeme.

When you up there take a rest at the local restaurans and climbers lodging houses, and try some home made local cuisine dishes.
