All about the 500 Stairs of Horvat Hiking Tour.

Back in the 1950. there were many admirers of mountain Medvednica and one of those admirers was journalist, photographer and mountaineer Vladimir Horvat (1891-1962). Singlehanded he managed to build 500 stairs in steep and inaccessible part on north face of mountain Medvednica. Through the whole place he discovered many small caves, chasms and nice viewpoints. At the bottom of the stairs near the small creek he also arranged resting spot called “Srnec” with benches and tables for hikers and lovers of nature. The length of the tour is around 20km. During the tour we will make 2 ascents and 2 descents that makes tour more challenging. 1st ascent is from starting point to the mountain hut “Hunjka” and 2nd ascent is from “Srnec” resting point to Sljeme (1035m). 1st descent is from mountain hut “Hunjka” over 500 stairs of Horvat to “Srnec” resting point and 2nd descent is from Sljeme (1035m) to the starting point. Total tour time is around 10h.
