Underground Zagreb and Medvedgrad castle

While you walk through the center of Zagreb, or any other place for that matter, you aren’t always aware of the things you pass by. This tour will give you a sense of the things you’re missing – and not only you, but the local people to. Those places were forgotten by time itself.

What will you visit:

Markuševac tunnels
The Markuševac underground tunnel systems are two of three underground facilities situated on Medvednica hill. They represent a forgotten time when the military closed up a parts of the current Medvednica Nature Park, and built large underground weapon storage.

Brestovec
The Brestovec sanatorium was built in the beginning of the 20st century, and received its first patients in 1909. It was one of the first places that was specialized in tuberculosis treatment.

Zrinski mines
The Zrinski Mines were registered as the protected cultural heritage of the Republic of Croatia in 2006. With deep respect to the generations of miners and their achievements we invite you to visit their mine and discover a fraction of their secrets.

Medvedgrad
On the southern slope of Medvednica, at the top of the hill Mali Plazur, nests a picturesque medieval castle which has been watching over Zagreb for eight centuries.
