This tunnel is related to World War II when construction began (between 1943 and 1944) and in 1947 the tunnel was slightly renovated. The first and most important function was of course protection during the war. After the Second World War, the tunnel was neglected and its purpose and function were investigated. However, until the early 1990s the tunnel was almost unusable. Then the first rave parties began in Zagreb in the Grič tunnel. Since then, the Grič Tunnel has served its tourist purpose and the construction of a museum is planned. In 2016 the tunnel reopened its doors to visitors.
Part of the technical data
The Grič tunnel is only 350 meters long. There are two main entrances - one on Mesnička Street 19 and the other on Radićeva Street 19. There are four exits towards Tomićeva Street or Ilica Street, but they are not yet open. The width of the tunnel is 3.5 meters, except for its central part, where it is up to 5.5 meters wide. Some explorers think this is just one of the tunnels under Zagreb. Of course, the Grič Tunnel is the most famous. This pedestrian tunnel is open to visitors every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
