	Zagreb parks Green parks and fountains, avenues of trees and flowers starting with Zrinjevac in the town centre. The series of parks go from town center down to the railway station, through the botanical gardens and up to Marulić and Tito Squares where the theatre stands. They are known as the Lenucci horseshoe because of the shape they form and the name of the landscape gardener who planned them. They are well provided with benches where you can rest from sightseeing and plan the next thing you want to do.
	Nature park Medvednica is in close proximity to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. Due to its numerous landscaped trails, mountain houses, historical monuments and recreational areas, the central part of this wooded mountain gives an impression of a spacious city park. By walking down the educational trails, you can learn about some of almost one thousand recorded plant varieties, listen to the song of around a hundred bird types, and come across numerous insects and animals. The walk through the forest restores natural balance to life, and each moment spent in the Medvednica Nature Park enriches your existence. Welcome!
