THE MEDVEDNICA WOODS AS THE RECREATION CENTRE OF ZAGREB
Summary
Zagreb is situated at southern of mountain Medvednica. Ms outskirts
are the direct connection with Medvedenica, which appears as the natural choice
for leasure and recreation centre of its citizens. Medvednica is overgrown with
woods and in this article the author is giving data on these forests. The widest
distributed species of Medvednica is beech (Fagus silvatica L.). Amongst other
foliacelous trees there is the sessile oak (Quercus petrae Liebl.), lungwort oak (Quercus
pubescens Wild.), hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.), sweet chestnut (Castanea
sativa MILL), common ash (Fraxinus excelsior (L.) and common maple (Acer Pleudoplatanus
L.). Amongst the conifers there is the white fir (Abies alba Mill.) The forests
of Medvednica have been having the status of park-forest for over 30 wears
now. Cutting has been decreased and the mass of wood has increased by aproximately
30°/o. This mass amounts to over 700 m 3 , per ha with a portion of fir trees.
There are several special forests reservations and Medvednica protected by the
Nature Protection Law (page 333), along with several protected species of plants,
geological forms and so on. In 1980 the 22,826 ha of Medvednica has been declared
for the »park of nature«.
