Why it is worth your time
At the forest's edge, where the city tips into Medvednica, spreads Cmrok: a broad grassy slope that locals love for picnics, play and watching the sunset over the city. In winter it becomes the favourite sledding hill, in summer a green open-air living room.
Croatia Atlas tip
Bring a blanket for sunset; in snowy winters borrow the locals' tradition and bring a sled.
