Where Pannonian lowland ends begins the hills of misterius mountain Medvednica. Here princess Manda scraped water to the thirsty banus that called the well Manduševac, and the city Zagreb (engl. Scrape).

Monumental most impresive gothic style cathedral put place on the first hill over Manduševac well. Zagreb bishopric was founded here by hungarian king Ladislav in 1094. to make stronger connection with Hungary and to collect taxes from this rich trading route.

Going to wine cellar 'Iločki podrumi' on a wine degustation. Wines come from old basement in Ilok which dates all from 1450. These exceptional top quality wines were poured even on british court.

Next goes true elf beerhouse, 'Tolkien's house'. It has 96 sorts of beer from all around and the walls are covered with hobbits and elfs swards. House spirits of ancestors Vedi are protecting the people who find  themselves in, together with Bagun, the spirit of hearth. Hairy Runješ sits in the chimney and can grab you if he is in a bad mood. Here are also playfull Bajkači, that make small pranks just for fun.

Passing by statue of Marija J. Zagorka, first profesional woman jurnalist and top readed writer. She writed intrigued love stories with elements of miths and legends of old Zagreb, like cult novel Grička vještica (engl. Grich witch). She was a true fighter for women wrights.

Crossing the Bloody bridge, place of brutal confrontation between people of Gradec and Kaptol, usually cause of high taxes that bishopric Kaptol demanded.

Next comes the statue of Sankt Georgus with dead dragon next to his feet. It represents victory of christianity over evil. Close by is the Stone gate that hides old painting of Virgin Marry, protector of the town. It is the only thing that mysteriously did not burn in big cathastrophic fire in 1731.

Comming to Preasts tower that was used also as a prison and a torture place. Close by is hidden Dubravka's forrest path where in spring  flowers hide litlle elfs.

Next goes the church of St. Mark, which is one of the most oldest building of the town and you will recognise her by colorful roof with two emblems. Trials and executions were carried out in front of this curch .
