Donja Višnjica - Vidikovac Tri Žaklji

Access to starting point:
We arrive in Croatia via the Gruškovje/Macelj border crossing. Immediately leave the motorway and head east towards Varaždin, Ivanec, Trakošćan. In Trakošćan, turn left towards Cvetlin and Višnjica and drive to the village of Donja Višnjica. Donja Višnjica is a sprawling settlement. We can park in the parking lot by the school or by the residential building where there used to be a post office.

Route description:
From the place where we parked, continue in the direction of Lepoglava, proceeding to the south of the settlement. Along the main road, we reach the Fijačko farm with house number 105b, where we go left uphill on asphalt. There are no markings on this section of the path. The road then leads us through a small hamlet and levels out after a longer right bend. A little further, we arrive at a water supply facility, where we will notice the first markings on a tree.
Continue right uphill on asphalt, but only for about a minute since we will enter the forest at the next bend.
In the forest, the path is initially gentle then becomes very steep. After the bend, we reach a junction where the path from Zlogonje settlement joins from the left. The path ahead leads along a forest ride, later turning into a narrower trail (the ride was washed away by a landslide in this section). When the path turns left, we reach a junction where our path merges with the path from Goranec village.
Continue left northwards along the ridge, but when our path drops sharply over rocky ground, we will notice a poorly marked junction, where we go left.
A minute further, we are already at a small rest area and the Tri Žaklji viewpoint.
From the viewpoint, despite the relatively low elevation, an exceptional view opens to the west.
The author's opinion is that the viewpoint is very dangerous for slipping.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips
