About this audio guide
This guide to Bundek City Park in Zagreb starts in nineteen fifty-five, when the riverbank here was a working gravel pit feeding the construction of the city's new trade fair. It follows who got what from that dig, the boy whose name the lake is said to carry, and the summers when half of Zagreb came here to swim. Best heard from the shore of the Big Lake.
