Description
Sljeme is the peak of Medvednica, the mountain above Zagreb. It is located at 1033 meters above sea level. Sljeme runs asphalted road, numerous hiking trails, and from 1963 to 2007 there was also a slope lift. Sljeme is one of Zagreb's favorite excursion destinations. There is also a ski slope on Sljeme, one of the locations for the World Ski Championships (Snow Queen). At the very top is a RTV tower, 169 meters high, built in 1973.
The name Medvednica was mentioned for the first time in the 14th century in the royal grant of Gradec. Medvednica is also called Zagrebačka gora, but the name of the forest is valid only for that part of the town that has been in the possession of the city since the end of the 16th century and is sometimes called Varro gora. The Sljeme name for its highest part appeared on maps at the end of the 18th century, because the people thus marked the entire mountainous area.
