  • The Sljeme cable car in Zagreb will be temporarily closed on July 20th and 21st for regular maintenance.
  • This closure is part of routine periodic activities to ensure the cable car's safe and smooth operation.
  • Alternative transportation to the top of Medvednica mountain includes bus line 140 or hiking.

The Sljeme cable car, a popular route for Zagreb residents and visitors heading to Medvednica mountain, will suspend operations for two days in July. The closure is scheduled for Monday, July 20th, and Tuesday, July 21st, due to a mandatory monthly service inspection.

According to ZET, the public transport company operating the cable car, these periodic maintenance activities are essential. They ensure all technical and safety requirements are met, guaranteeing the continued safe and uninterrupted service of the cable car. This routine procedure is standard practice for maintaining the infrastructure.

During the closure, passengers wishing to reach the top of Medvednica mountain have alternative options. ZET advises using bus line 140, which runs from Mihaljevac directly to the summit. For those who prefer a more active approach, hiking trails to the top remain accessible.

The cable car's regular maintenance is crucial for its reliable operation, especially given its importance as a transport link for recreational activities on Zagreb's local mountain. The brief shutdown allows for thorough checks and necessary servicing, ensuring passenger safety and the longevity of the equipment.

This is about routine periodic activities to fulfill all technical and safety prerequisites for the continued safe and smooth operation of the cable car.
