Why it is worth your time
Among Maksimir's paths hides the Swiss House, a single-storey alpine-style cottage built in 1841–1842, also known as the Tyrolean House. With its timber ornament and romantic look it brings a piece of the Alps into the Zagreb park, recalling an age when parks imitated distant lands.
