From hill to hill (8.8 km)


The route starts from Rural Tourism "Kezele" with a view of Moslavačka Gora to the east. It leads you through the vineyards to Đuro's hill, where it enters the Marča forest. The path runs along the ridge from hill to hill, and there are steep slopes on both sides.


It soon leads you to a dense young forest that was rejuvenated in 2012. Cutting and rejuvenating the forest is an integral part of the management of the Marča forest. At the intersection of the forest paths, continue left to the next hill. In Grabersko brdo, it is not out of place to turn to the "Voštinić Klasnić" winery, where there is an open view to the south.


The route continues through the village, and soon re-enters the forest on macadam that ends at the intersection with the asphalt road. Further on, on the left side are vineyards and orchards, and on the right are forests and through the village you come to the next hill.


Trojičko brdo is in the last part of the route and on that part where you pass through numerous small vineyards and wine cellars, you occasionally get a view to the west. The route ends in rural tourism Klet Kunek "Stari Mlin". On weekends, you can enjoy homemade food and rest in the quiet valley of this family farm.


Oil Rush (6.4 km)


The route starts at the mountain house and goes uphill over Grabersko brdo. On the right is the "Voštinić Klasnić" winery, where you can taste škrlet, Moslavina's most famous autochthonous variety of white wine.


Through open forest meadows and Deanovečko brdo you will reach Petica, one of the first areas where oil exploitation began in Croatia. There is still a collection station and the first pump.


At the intersection, two variants are possible. Variant "2a": the route descends into the valley on the right, and then crosses to the field road on the left, from the open valley uphill towards the main forest road. Variant "2b": the route descends to the left into the valley. In the valley, you can take a short turn to the right and see the modernized wells. You continue slightly to the left and enter the forest along the path uphill.


The visibility of this trail may be reduced during the growing season and muddy after rain. The forest trail ends at Đuro's hill, where it leads to the main forest road. On the main forest road, the route leads to rural tourism "Kezele", where you can enjoy local food and wine with a beautiful view.


Road to the center (5.6 km)


The route starts from the mountain house "Grabersko brdo" uphill, passes the winery "Voštinić Klasnić" and leads straight into the Marča forest. The oldest part of the forest near the log house "Jabuka" is 150 years old. Part of the route is on the educational trail of the Croatian Forests, where you can learn more about the forest itself.


The ridge on which the forest road is located is the main watershed of the Marča forest. The waters from the east flow into Česma, and from the west into Lonja.


At the log house "Jabuka" you enter the forest path towards the village of Stara Marča. Stara Marča is a place located in the "center" of Croatia, because it is the point furthest from the Croatian state borders. The nearest state borders are 65 km away. The route ends at the estate "Stara Marča".


From top to bottom (4.3 km)


The route starts and ends at the rural tourism "Kezele". It starts at the intersection towards the west and leads you through the vineyards into the Marča forest. You will soon reach Đuro's hill, and in the forest the route turns right downhill along the ridge.


Deep bays cut by water alternate with gentle hills. Descending into the valley, shortly before the bridge and crossing with another forest road, the route turns right and continues along the forest path.


Through the bright forest the path leads to a picturesque lake. The last part of the route continues to the right, uphill along part of the Marča educational trail, back to the rural tourism "Kezele". Along the trail are info boards that describe the natural world of the Marča forest.
