In 2019. , due to a few upgrades taken on upper part, trail 57 was very popular downhill trail for big amount of bikers in Zagreb, and still is. For access we used popular hiking path Leustek trail described in previous routes (for description look other routes on Medvednica ). When reaching the gravel road on leustek path turn right on gravel road and follow the road until reaching Tigrovo oko (little lake) . From there follow the trail that leads to Grofica hut. After reaching paved road follow the Sljeme road, make sure not to go in opposite direction of the road, could be confusing if you find yourself there for the first time. After about 600 meters you’ll see entrance to 57 trail, it is about 150 meters before entrance to popular “BK Opušteno – Enduro trail”.

If you are visiting Zagreb and have a whole day for MTB experience, this route is very good trip for visiting northern and south side of Medvednica. For ascent we used popular Leustek trail (There is a tacit agreement between hikers and mountain bikers not to ride downhill this path, so it is very important for everyone who read this text to follow this simple unwritten rule.) On the intesection Leustek trail and macadam road, we went right on macadam road that leads on trails named 21 A, 21 and 20 which goes through meadow Danjka. First ascent path ends at hut Hunjka, and from there we descended by trail called Zagorje Enduro trail.

Velika Planina is probably one of the top 5 rides of 2019. and it is the site of few European surviving high mountain herdsmen’s villages where traditional Alpines culture still lives. Its scenic high plateau is famous for its beauty and landscape. During all year, Velika Planina is accesible by aerial cable car, the bottom cable car station is located in Kamniška Bistrica, next to the Kamp Alpe campsite (here we parked our car, plenty of parking space, and from here we started our route). It took less than 10 minutes to reach upper station in Velika Planina’s Šimnovec area.
