Let’s go to Sljeme!, as citizens of Zagreb say, having in mind going to any part of Mount Medvednica, even though Sljeme is just the name of its peak. The peak itself isn’t as impressive as those in the Alps; instead, it is hidden in the woods, somewhere in the middle of a steep mountain ridge. My advice is to go there with a car or by foot if you are in good condition!
