Description
Take a break from the city rush and embrace the slow life at Zagreb’s biggest park. Let the flora and fauna teach you the beauty of a relaxed pace.
Start your day with birdwatching walk through Maksimir Park, one of Zagreb’s oldest green spaces and a haven for local wildlife. You’ll be guided by an experienced ornithologist who knows the area well and will help you spot and understand the habits of the birds that live there. It’s an easy, accessible route perfect for all levels of nature lovers.
In the afternoon, join a foraging course led by an agronomist, where you’ll learn how to identify edible plants, wild herbs, and seasonal foods growing in the area. The course includes both practical tips and broader insight into the park’s natural ecosystems. It’s a slow-paced, hands-on experience that connects you more deeply with the landscape around you.
