Peca Underground

Our comfortable van will drive you from Hotel Grof to the lower station of the Golte cable car. With the cable car, we ascend to an elevation of 1410 meters in just 8 minutes. Once we reach the top we start cycling towards the Alpine Garden on Golte and Smrekovec. Near the Smrekovec Lodge, we turn right and continue cycling on the gravel road north of Smrekovec to the Najevska lipa (linden tree). The Najevnik linden tree is a tree with the largest trunk circumference in Slovenia and is estimated to be approximately 790 years old. The road continually descends to Črna na Koroškem and the entrance to the mine, where you can visit the mine by bike. After the tour, we start ascending towards the Sleme pass (1082 m), where you can refresh at Andrejev Lodge on Sleme. We continue descending towards Bele Vode and Mozirje. In Mozirje, we turn left and cycle on a new bike path towards Letuš, where we cross the Savinja River and continue towards the Preserje Pond. We continue towards Parižlje, where cycle among hop fields and on gravel roads all the way back to Hotel Grof.
