This pleasant and short family cycling tour starts in front of the Hotel Grof in Prebold, where you set off through the peaceful village of Prekopa. The road is flat and undemanding, ideal for families with younger children or for those who want a relaxed trip without major climbs. After a short introductory section, you head towards Lake Žovneško, where nature truly shows its beauty.
Lake Žovneško is the real pearl of this tour – it is surrounded by forests and quiet walking paths that invite you to stop. Here you can take a short break, observe nature, and children can relax by the water. The lake is artificial, but it fits nicely into the natural environment and offers a peaceful atmosphere for a break. After a stop at the lake, you continue towards the village of Kamenče, where the path takes you again along well-maintained local roads, past fields and meadows, back towards Prekopa. The typical Savinja countryside, with its tranquility and views of the nearby hills, creates the perfect backdrop for the last part of the trip.
End the tour at Hotel Grof, where a well-deserved refreshment or dessert awaits you as a reward. The entire route, due to its brevity, flat profile and natural beauty, is an excellent choice for young families or for a short afternoon trip.
