Menina planina Plateau

To warm up we cycle through Vransko and on asphalt road ascend over the Lipa pass. Just before the end of the descent towards Šmartno ob Dreti, near a larger farm, we turn left onto a gravel road that winds along the slope of the Menina planina plateau. After a few kilometers, we follow the road that leads from Bočna to the Menina planina plateau. A scenic gravel road leads us across a long plateau of Menina planina all the way to Menina planina Hut. We continue cycling along the plateau until we reach Biba planina, where we begin our descent towards Okrog pri Motniku and Špitalič. We then start ascending again towards the Lipa pass, followed by a descent towards Hotel Grof.
