From Savinja Valley to Karst region
Short cycling tour into the Karst region, named after specific undergound formations such as caves and sinkholes. We begin our trip on less busy local roads in Savinja Valley and continue to a true karstic land. The route leads us past Lake Žovnek, through Braslovče and Parižlje all the way to Polzela. We cycle past Andraž pri Polzeli where we begin to ascend to a hilly karst terrain. We continue to Ponikva pri Žalcu - Ponikovski kras Landscape Park area. After we ascend to Kale where a nice view of the valley opens up in front of us. On the way back we can stop at the Pekel Cave, a karst cave with long history. To return back to Grof we follow a road through Šempeter in Savinja Valley and cycle along south part of the valley through Prebold, Grajska vas, and Tabor.
