Paški Kozjak

We start our route at the Grof Hotel and cycle along picturesque and varied side roads through Tabor, Prebold, and Griže to Celje, where part of the route follows the Savinja River. We turn left onto Čopova Street and ride through Ostrožno towards Lopata. At the chapel, we turn left onto one of the less trafficked roads, passing by Galicija and Hramše to Dobrna.

We cycle along a relatively winding road to Socka, where we begin the ascent of approximately 350 meters above sea level. We ride through all the Doliče villages, starting with Spodnje Doliče, then Srednje Doliče, and Upper Doliče, until we reach Velenje via Paka pri Velenju. A short break in Velenje is recommended. At the roundabout near the Velenje ski jump, we take the third exit onto Žarova Street. We cycle through the forests, passing Ložnica, and then over Polzela and Pariželj, concluding our tour at the Grof Hotel.
