- Because it offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and beyond the 60 hiking trails it provides a path to inner peace and well-being for every visitor.
- Because in addition to natural beauty, which hardly any capital city can boast in such proximity, Medvednica also hides rich cultural and historical heritage.
