Velika Buna: Memorial House and Chapel of St. Anne

If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Velika Buna, start by considering what will shape your stay. The Memorial House and the 153rd Brigade Memorial Park are suited to a visit focused on remembrance. The Šumarica educational hiking trail offers a different emphasis: it connects Krušak and Kozjača. The Chapel of St. Anne is also located in Velika Buna. This means you can consider a visit to a memorial, a hike and a chapel as different themes when planning your trip.

153rd Brigade Memorial Park and Memorial House

The 153rd Brigade Memorial Park and Memorial House in Velika Buna serve as museums. They are dedicated to remembering all the fallen defenders and members of the brigade. The focus of a visit is therefore remembrance.

There are specific visiting hours to consider when planning your visit: the site is open to visitors from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays. Visits by organized groups on other days are possible by arrangement. The site is closed to visitors throughout August, and admission is free. Saturday’s opening hours are longer; on Sundays, it closes at 2 p.m. Check the current visiting arrangements before travelling.

Šumarica as a hiking destination

The Šumarica educational hiking trail is about nine kilometres long and connects the places of Krušak and Kozjača. It is marked in both directions and has nine educational stations with information boards in Croatian and English. A tourist description from December 2022 calls Šumarica the first hiking trail in the Vukomeričke gorice.

For your planning, the trail offers a different focus from the memorial complex: rather than set visiting hours, the focus is on a marked route between two places and the educational stations along the way. The length gives you an approximate idea of the distance; the nine stations indicate its educational purpose. The information boards in two languages make it easier to use the content in Croatian or English. The connection between Krušak and Kozjača and the markings in both directions give you clear reference points for navigating the trail.

Public transport connections to the hiking trail

Krušak and Kozjača are connected to Velika Gorica by a regular bus service, providing public transport access to the Šumarica hiking trail. Check the current operating times before travelling to plan a specific journey. If you intend to take the bus, coordinate the journey times with your chosen starting point for the hike. The bus connection is a separate planning consideration for the trail; for the memorial complex, visiting hours are what matter.

Chapel of St. Anne

The Chapel of St. Anne is located in Velika Buna. If religious sites are among your interests, it provides a relevant point of interest for planning your trip.
