Good to Know
The tour runs as a full-day experience departing from near the meteorological post in Zagreb. You'll need to pay park entrance fees in cash upon arrival (23-40 EUR per person depending on season). The walking portion covers several kilometres along boardwalks and forest trails, with some uneven terrain that may challenge those with mobility issues.
Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather, as you'll be outdoors for most of the day. Meals and drinks aren't included, so pack snacks or plan to buy food at the park's facilities. Swimming isn't permitted anywhere in the park to protect the delicate ecosystem.
After your guided tour, you'll have free time to explore independently and capture photos from the park's panoramic viewpoints. If you're planning more Zagreb adventures, consider booking a Zagreb city walking tour to discover the capital's historic Upper Town, or venture further afield with a Split and Dubrovnik day trip to experience Croatia's stunning Dalmatian coast.
