Grmoščica or Grmošćica is a hill on Medvednica mountain in central Croatia, just north of Zagreb. Its highest peak is 239 m.[1]

Etymology

[edit]

The oldest surviving mention of the hill is in a 1217 document under the name Gremla.[2]: 152 [3]: 17, 25 

The form Grmoščica is Kajkavian, whereas the form Grmošćica is a correction according to the Croatian standard. It consists of a root inherited from Proto-Slavic grъmъ + -oš + -čica.[4] A dialectal form Grmovčica is also encountered.[5]: 188  Both spellings continue to be used.[6]: 20 

In other dialects, the word grmoščica is used to refer to the mushroom Armillaria tabescens.[7]: 19 

Biology

[edit]

Flora

[edit]

Trees include Salix alba,[8]: 23  Salix purpurea,[8]: 56  and others.

The lichen species found on oak bark on the hill are Flavoparmelia caperata[9]: 26  and Hypogymnia physodes.[9]: 25 [10]: 106, 115 

Fauna

[edit]

Insects include Subcoccinella vigintiquatuorpunctata[11]: 113  and the invasive species Dryocosmus kuriphilus, the latter a risk for the spread of Cryphonectria parasitica.[12]: 500 [13]: 162 

Geoscience

[edit]

Geology

[edit]

Grmoščica is home to some of the most active landslides in Zagreb.[14]: 146 

Speleology

[edit]
Primary entrance to Kustošijanka

Kustošijanka is a cave with two entrances and 44 m of passageway on the north slope of a valley on the east side of Grmoščica. It is located on the fault line dividing Grmoščica in half from northeast to southwest. Its entrance is at an elevation of 155 m. The caver Darko Višek learned of its existence in conversation with local resident Vlado Krapljan, who was among the visitors who left many names and dates inscribed on the walls of the cave in their childhood. It formed in Upper Pontian layers of marlstone, duststone, and sandstone: "Rhomboidea layers", deposited in brackish conditions.[15] Thanks to being on a landslide-prone part of the hill,[16] the entrance became covered at some point after 1993 and could only be passed following digging in 2010.[17]

Clay pit

[edit]

An inactive 15.85 ha clay pit remains in situ on the southeast side of the hill.[18]: 12 

Landslides

[edit]

A large area of the forest on Grmoščica is under private ownership, which has resulted in forest loss, which has led to landslide formation.[19]

Forest Park

[edit]

The park is one of the few places in Zagreb where dogs are allowed without a leash.[20]: 17 

Recreation

[edit]

The arrangement of the Forest Park Grmoščica for recreation has been described as "neglected" by authorities.[21][22]: 23  This began to change following the inclusion of the addition of recreational infrastructure to the park plan.[23]: 207  A series of new downhill bicycle routes were added in 2021,[24]: 37  although the majority of routes had been constructed on private initiative.[25]

One of the earliest and more successful branches of the Croatian Pin Bowling Federation [hr], Grmoščica, founded in 1938,[26] meets on the hill.[27]: 7 [28]: 251  Within Yugoslavia, they won the male national cup 9 times.[29]
