		Medvednica is a mountain somewhat simple in its form: a central ridge and two clearly defined slopes.
		Medvednica was created by ground extrusion between two pronounced fault lines, which is why its slopes are rather steep.
		The Medvednica ridge extends NE-SW (vertically to the Dinarides), to a length of 42 km, separating Hrvatsko zagorje from the Prigorje region (Croatian Piedmont).

		The Medvednica ophiolite melange represents a chaotic complex in which primary sedimentary sequences are rarely preserved due to subsequent tectonism.
		For that reason the VZ ophiolite melange is of post-Paleocene age as distinguished from the Jurassic ophiolite melange of the DOZ.
		The Medvednica ophiolites are represented by tectonic and cumulate serpentinized peridotites, gabbro-diabases and basalts, transformed by postmagmatic processes, into serpentinites, metagabbros, metadiabases and metabasalts.
