The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive Early for Check-In

The meeting point is in front of the public garage at Zagrebačka ulica 56; arrive 15–20 minutes early to complete waivers and gear checks.

Secure Small Electronics

Use a wrist strap or pocket for phones and cameras — anything dropped on the line is unrecoverable.

Layer for Wind

Even in summer the launch area can be breezy; bring a light windbreaker to avoid chills while waiting.

Hydrate, But Don’t Overeat

A small bottle of water is provided, but avoid heavy meals right before your ride to minimize discomfort.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk the short trail to Fort Imperial for panoramic views and wartime exhibits.
  • After the ride, stop at the small viewpoint toward the Elaphiti islands for less crowded sunset photos.

Wildlife

  • Mediterranean gulls
  • Lizards (common wall lizard) basking on rocks

Conservation Note

The zipline operator works within protected areas of the karst landscape; visitors are asked to stay on paths, avoid littering, and respect restricted zones around nesting birds.

Srđ has been a military lookout for centuries; Fort Imperial, rebuilt in the 19th and 20th centuries, served as a defensive post in multiple conflicts.
