Dobrna

This longer cycling tour follows quiet local roads through the Savinja Valley. Starting at Hotel Grof, we pass through Tabor, Prebold, and Griže, where the final part of the route to Celje runs along the Savinja River. We cross the river on Čopova Street and continue through Celje toward Ostrožno. We take the first exit at the second roundabout, following signs for Šmartinsko Lake, passing through Dobrova and Runtole. Here, we enjoy the views of Šmartinsko Lake.

We continue through Vojnik to Dobrna. From Dobrna, we return along the same route, and at the intersection before the main road, we turn right toward Velenje. We follow a relatively flat road through Podkraj, Arnače, and Ložnica, then past Polzela and Parižlje. On the second part of the route, we ride past Žovnek Lake and finish our tour on quiet roads, returning to Hotel Grof.
