Running
If you love running in nature, Medvednica will steal your heart.
Its trails, climbs and forest paths are ideal for trail running – from the soft leaves beneath your feet and muddy twists to rocky sections that challenge every step. And all around you, the fresh forest scents and the sound of birds chirping make every run feel special.
On the trails, you’ll always meet fellow runners – early morning solo runners, lively groups training for races and those just discovering the thrill of mountain running. And if you’re into races, Medvednica has plenty to offer. Here, you’ll find everything from local trail leagues to well-known challenges like the Sljeme Marathon and the legendary Boroša, which takes you from the heart of Zagreb all the way to the mountain’s summit.
If you haven’t tried running on Medvednica yet, now might just be the right time to lace up your shoes and hit the trails. Who knows – you might just find your new favourite route.
