Zagreb's main square to the lush places below Sljeme

Climbing from Zagreb's centre to Tuškanac and beyond

 

 

It's nearing autumn. 

If you've been in Zagreb in the summer, you'll know how the city is pretty barren at this time of year. Especially its city centre.

In the previous posts I've mentioned the earthquake being the primary reason for this - Zagreb people leaving the old part of town, as the buildings there are no longer safe. It's like a wound that gets deeper each time, widening, and there's no antidote to that.

Either demolish the buildings which bear the scars from the earthquake or make adaptations to them, secure them better.

People chose to leave everything alltogether, and it's now a good moment to take possesion of these spaces at a much lower cost.

And hope that the times are going to get better.

 

So, in the next few lines I'll show you some great vistas and photos I took on many of my walks from Trg Bana Jelacica, the main square in Zagreb to Upper Town (Gornji Grad), from Tuškanac to right below Sljeme, the suburb called Šestine.
