Reserve your time for HIGHLANDER! A real mountaineering adventure takes place on Zagreb's mountain Medvednica from October 28 to 30. For the first time, one capital city will become the center of this event. Although Zagreb first associates us with the hustle and bustle that always befits larger cities, we must not forget about the beautiful nature, parks, and imposing mountain surrounding it, which the organizers of HIGHLANDER recognize well.
Zagrebačka Gora Medvednica Is a Real Beauty
The unique feature of this year's HIGHLANDER is that it takes place in the capital, making it easily accessible to all interested individuals. Therefore, you can join the team as a professional or recreational player. The tour starts in the city's west and is 59 kilometers long. From Susedgrad to Sesvete, you will also enjoy this adventure for three days. Sopot waterfall and Kraljičin Zdenac lake are just some of the beauties that the route through the Medvednica Nature Park will treat you to. We all need a reset during the year, and reconnecting with untouched nature, fresh air, and a break from a sedentary lifestyle are the main benefits of this kind of event.

With Good Company, Song, and Yoga, You Will Enjoy Physical Activity
Although you will climb up to 2,000 meters during HIGHLANDER, the program is not focused exclusively on climbing. A rich schedule of exciting events awaits you, which you can join and enjoy with other participants. In the afternoon, you can join the yoga exercises, which will fit perfectly into your hiking schedule and connect your spirit with your body. Later you can enjoy the notes of different musical groups by the campfire. There will also be an educational part, and lectures have been prepared about the Medvednica Nature Park itself and mountain nutrition - we believe you will enjoy the knowledge imparted!
Unforgettable experience!
It is recommended to prepare recreationally for hiking, but the event is by no means intended exclusively for professionals. The organizer provides ten meals, which you can find at the checkpoints. Of course, each person can bring additional food for themselves. Don't forget to bring a sleeping bag or a tent because sleeping in mountain houses is not allowed! Clean air, untouched nature and a team with similar affinities as yours will make this experience unforgettable. We can all agree with the thought of the famous mountaineer Anatoli Boukreev: "Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve; they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion."
