Cycle to a magnificent valley under Čemšeniška planina plateau

R1 route starts in Vransko on a regional road towards Trojane. Turn left at the intersection in Zaplanina where a beautiful view of the valley opens up. Ascending on a less busy road will take us to the northern part of Čemšeniška planina plateau. Follow poorly maintained paved road towards Trojane where we stop for a sweet snack - delicious Trojane doughnuts. Before returning to the starting point, take a look at the section of an old regional road Celje - Ljubljana near Babe. Final climb of the day over the pass and descent to Motnik towards Hotel Grof.
