This might sound like the start of a bedtime story for children, but it is merely an introduction to the expansive world of tales beyond the myths and legends of our island-turned-mountain. Fast forward to today, and our mountain, once an island, is known as Medvednica Mountain, with the city of Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, proudly nestled at its base.
The magical forest where fairies once danced and witches brewed their potions is now a Nature Park, and the medieval castle of the Black Queen has become the Medvedgrad visitor center.
Set off on this adventure from Zagreb’s Main Square into the heart of Medvednica Mountain, discovering the city, nature, history, and local cuisine.
