Sljeme Summit and TV Tower

Highlight • Summit

Sljeme, at 3,396 feet (1,035 m), is Medvednica’s highest point ('sljeme' means 'summit' in Croatian). An icon of Zagreb, it's adorned by the OIV Tower, which is home to a panoramic observation deck for views across the Zagorje region and even as far as Slovenia's mountains. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the vicinity of the summit too.

Mala Hunjka Restaurant

Sljeme Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

This beautiful chapel, near the summit of Medvednica, is known as Majke Božje Sljemenske, Kraljice Hrvata (Mother of God of Sljeme, the Queen of Croatia). Constructed in 1932 and designed by architect Jurje Denzler, it's inspired by Croatian motifs and evokes the first Croatian statues from Dalmatia. The chapel's altar is made of Brač stone, just like parts of Washington DC's White House.
