Kum Climb 

This time we set off for cycling in Zasavje. From hotel Grof, we turn right onto the regional road and after just a few hundred meters, we turn onto a side road, continuing our journey towards Tabor. WE ascend towards Milavž pri Taboru, followed by a descent towards Trbovlje. We face the highest elevation gain with a height difference of 940 meters towards Kum. After a well-deserved stop and stunning views of Kum, we descend back through Dobovec, followed by a longer descent towards Radeče and Zidani Most. We continue or route to Prebold via Hrastnik and Podmeja. We conclude the cycling circle of over 100 km through Latkova vas and Orla vas. Upon our arrival at hotel Grof, we celebrate the long tour and burned calories with excellent food from the Grof restaurant.
