Medvednica

Bikčevićeva - Medvednica - Outdoors Croatia

Sljeme Snow Run
We consider ourselves very lucky to have a mountain such as Medvednica only a few minutes ride from where we live in Zagreb. Naturally, that is our training polygon whenever we stay home for weekend. One route, in particular, showed to be great for trail running. Steep and short Bikčevičeva trail became favourite for many hikers and runners from Zagreb. Here we can meet many acquaintances and enjoy the presence of the outdoor community.
Time measured from the wooden gate at the bottom to the metal draining grill at the top became a standard measure for comparing performance way before Strava segments appeared.
Puntiarka hut at the top of the route is famous for delicious apple pies but both Mishka and me favour walnut rolls - best you can find. Medvednica is the Nature park with a long history of forestry care so the trees here are high and magnificent - don't forget to look up if you fall into the snow !


Smatramo se vrlo sretnima jer imamo planinu kao što je Medvednica na par minuta vožnje iz Zagreba gdje živimo. Naravno da nam je to poligon za treniranje nakon posla ili kad ostanemo doma za vikend. Bikčevićeva staza je jedna od najpopularnijih. Kratka i strma, odlična je za trening. Ovdje možemo sresti poznanike i uživati u društvu zagrebačke outdoor zajednice.

Vrijeme mjereno od ulaska na stazu do pl. doma na vrhu postalo je standard za usporedbu utreniranosti davno prije nego su se pojavili Strava segmenti.

Pl. dom Puntijarka poznat je po vrhunskoj piti od jabuke, ali Mishka i ja više volimo orahnjaču – najbolju koju možete pronaći. Medvednica je park prirode s dugom tradicijom šumarskog uređenja pa su stabla visoka i čudesna – ne zaboravite pogledati gore ako upadnete u snijeg.

Ideje za izlet: Medvednica, Zagreb, Croatia

Jedan od prijedloga za provesti dan u prirodi je svakako izlet na Medevednicu. Koju god stazu da izaberete sigurno nećete pogriješiti, a jedna od lakših i najkraćih je ona do Kraljičinog zdenca, gdje se možete i napiti posebno ukusne izvorske vode. Na žalost izletište i restoran Kraljičin zdenac ne rade, ali neka vas to ne spriječi da idete do tamo. U konačnici ako imate više vremena i kondicije od tamo možete lako stići do Medvedgrada (oltara domovine) ili nekog od planinarskih domova (Grafičar...)

MTB Sljeme Croatia ✓ Bikčevićeva Puntijarka Leustek - Outdoors Croatia

MTB XC ride on Medvednica mountain above Zagreb, Croatia.

Uspon na Medvednicu po Bikčevićevoj stazi od parkirališta Bliznec do Puntijarke i spust preko Šumarevog groba i Leustekove staze.

Planinarska staza 14, poznata još pod imenom Leustekova staza prema Albinu Leusteku. Albin Leustek bio je zagrebački šumar koji je puno doprinio uređenju Medvednice (slika desno). Po njemu je nazvan i izvor Šumarev grob, mjesto gdje je Leustek osobno želio biti sahranjen. Ipak, želja mu u tom pogledu nije bila ispunjena i sahranjen je, prema želji obitelji, na groblju u Šestinama odmah pored crkve Sv. Mirka.

Staza 14 jedna je od najpopuarnijih i najlakših staza za penjanje na Medvednici. Dijagram visine staze prikazuje vrlo ujednačen nagib uspona tijekom cijele trase puta. Na karti je tanjom crvenom linijom prikazana i staza 15 kao lijevi odvojak staze 14, a također postoji i manja stazica među njima gdje je moguć prijelaz s jedne na drugu stazu.

Planinarska staza 18 ili poznata još pod imenom Bikčevićeva staza (desna crvena na karti) kao ide od Tunela Sljeme preko Blizneca, Bačunskog sedla, Njivica pa sve do Planinarskog doma Ivan Pačkovski (Puntijarka).

Tomislav BikčevićStaza je dobila ime po šumaru Tomislavu Bikčeviću (1915-1986), Slavoncu rodom, koji je radio po cijeloj bivšoj državi, ali na kraju u Zagrebu na poslovima revitalizacije šume i zelenih površina grada Zagreba i Medvednice. Bikčević je još radio i kao učitelj i direktor u Drvnoj tehničkoj školi.

Pri tome se na ovom putu nalaze planinarska skloništa Njivice i Mrzljak.

Sljeme single tracks - Medvednica MTB - Outdoors Croatia

These trails are just a few minutes ride from where we live in Zagreb. Mishka is trying a new CAMP harness ordered especially for her. She looks like a superhero but unfortunately her superpower showed to be fleeing for more than an hour.

Sljemenski singlići

Jučer smo se malo provozali po Medvednici. Svaki put me iznenadi kakvu bogatu prirodu imamo na pet minuta od kuće. Miška je malo isprobala novi CAMP pojas naručen posebno za nju. Izgleda kao superjunak, na žalost se pokazalo da je njena supermoć nestajanje na sat vremena.
