Maksimir Park, Forest park in Zagreb, Croatia
The 316-hectare Maksimir Park contains five lakes, extensive oak forests, meadows, streams, and provides habitat for over 100 bird species.
Bishop Maksimilijan Vrhovac established Maksimir Park in 1794, making it the first public park in southeastern Europe and among the earliest worldwide.
The park includes architectural elements such as the Echo Pavilion, Swiss House, Bishop Haulik's Villa, and numerous sculptures reflecting Zagreb's heritage.
Visitors can access Maksimir Park through tram lines 4, 7, 11, and 12, stopping at Bukovačka station, with a large parking area near Dinamo stadium.
The park's natural landscape integrates century-old oak forests with constructed lakes, maintaining its original 18th-century garden architecture design.
