What is the plan
DAY 1
Your arrival and welcome from our site at our reception of Lake Peak Apartments 4 *. We will do a brief overview of our tour program. We will test bike equipment, and if you do not have yours, we will prepare the equipment so you can rent it from us.
DAY 2
45 km, 1960 m elevation gain, 7-h with stops
We will deliver a fresh breakfast to your apartments in the morning. After that, we will start our second biking day. We will ride along the forest paths and wide Pohorje’s meadows to get to our first stop – partisan hospitals from the 2nd World War. It is a complex of six hidden houses where 300 wounded partisans were treated. German occupiers never found Partisan hospital. Nearby at the Mountain hut Grmovškov dom, we will have time for a snack/lunch, recharge our e-bike battery, and continue to the little forestry house, a shelter where foresters lived and hid when they were working in the forest. If you seek more adrenaline, we can ride along the trails of Bike Park Kope and continue towards Mountain hut Ribniška, where we can refresh ourselves or enjoy the breathtaking views. We will descend to the apartments and finish with our biking tour.
DAY 3
35 km, 1521 m elevation gain, 7-h with stops
We will deliver a fresh breakfast to your apartments in the morning. After that, we will start our second biking day. The tour will take us along forest paths to the first stop: the Church of St. Bolfenka. It is a 16th-century church, and the legend had it that St. Bolfenk chose the place of the church by throwing an axe in a random direction. Next to the church is a mighty linden tree from the year 1648. It was planted during the Peace of Westphalia, at the end of the 30-year war, in 1648. We will continue to Pahernik estate Samčevo, once the highest farm on Pohorje, where today stands a monument to Eng. Franjo Pahernik. Pahernik was a pioneer of sustainable forestry in the Drava Valley. Today, his monument surrounds beautiful forest clearings and a view of the village Ribnica on Pohorje. We will continue to Grmovškov dom in Kope, where we will recharge our e-bikes and refresh ourselves with traditional meals. We will continue our tour and stop next to the small wooden log cabin, where we will admire the open-air forestry museum – Lepšnik. We will return to the Lake Peak Apartments full of impressions and enjoy relaxing in nature.
DAY 4
We have quite a few bike trails that are great to explore. For the organization, we are happy to be available at our reception of Lake Peak Apartments, where we can advise you on the selection and upload a route map on a GPS device. Have fun on the road :)!
