Željezničar Mountain Lodge on Oštrc

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The most beautiful destination on the Samobor Highlands. Only maybe Japetic can be compared to Sharp. If you love nature you should not miss the Sharpener. The mountain lodge should be renovated. Great view of the city of Zagreb and Medvednica.

Oštrc Peak

Highlight • Summit

Oštrc is an alpine-looking peak in the center of the Samobor Mountains. It is easily visible from afar and is recognizable by the steep slopes on both sides. The top is not covered by forest, but is characterized by large steep slopes, so it offers wide views. On the south side of the peak is the 15 m high Flinka rock, which serves as a mountaineering training ground. On the saddle under the peak is the railway mountaineering lodge.

View: From the top, you can see Rudarska draga and Plešivica, and in the distance Zagreb and Medvednica
Coordinates: N 45° 45' 41.4'' E 15° 38' 57.8''
Stamp: The highest point of the peak is in the forest, and the metal stamp is located next to the memorial plaque to the first HPD excursion in 1875 (30 m from the peak), on a rock from which a beautiful view opens towards Rude and Plešivica
Access:
Rude – pl. Ivica Sudnik lodge (Veliki dol) – railway lodge – Oštrc 1.30 h
Samobor – Palačnik – Ivica Sudnik lodge – railway lodge – Oštrc 3 h
Smerovišće – Ivica Sudnik lodge – railway lodge – Oštrc 1.30 h
Rude – railway lodge – Oštrc 1.30 h
Poljanice – Prekrižje – Rancerje – railway lodge – Oštrc 1.30 h
Mali Lipovec (or Japetić) – Velika vrata – Stražnik – railway lodge – Oštrc 2.10 h

Oštrc is very popular among hikers and is very accessible. Of the dozen or so possible approaches, the shortest (but also the steepest) are the routes from Braslovje and from Rude, while the slightly gentler climbs from Smerovišće and from Šoićeva kuca are The approaches from both Samobor passes, Poljanice and Veliki Vrata, are also marked, so a visit to Oštrac can easily be combined with a visit to Plešivica or Japetić.

Chapel of St. Anne

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel was built in the Anindol Forest Park on the southern slope of Tepec Hill above the center of Samobor. It is a Baroque building with a rectangular nave and a narrow, polygonal chancel. The facade is simply gable-shaped with an anteroom on the ground floor. A massive bell tower body with a rectangular plan, covered with a pyramidal cap made of tin, was installed next to the northeastern part. The nave of the chapel is supported by a barrel vault with connected pointed buttresses between the cross arches, the chancel is supported by a cross vault with a keystone and pointed buttresses. It is made of gravel with angular hewn blocks. The interior was painted in 1911. It is an example of a Baroque building in which the tradition of late Gothic construction is still visible.
