I remember first time when I visited east part of Medvednica. It was winter, and snow covered everything in Zagreb. We decided to visit Gorščica and it was one of the best and most genuine experiences on Medvednica mountain. At the hut Gorčica we ended with knives in our hands peeling potatoes with the host who then made us pancakes and he didn’t want to take any money from us. That was the first time on Medvednica mountain that I felt like I’m in someone’s house and not in a restourant.
Now, concession ended for hosts, but they still give service in smaller hut nearby old shelter. They sell drinks, strudels and best pancakes (for only 5 kunas, which is only 0,65 euros).

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.
