Ascent is at first on paved road and then on Klemenčevo we connect on unpave road. Shortly after road becomes steeper as we are getting closer to the ridge. Few times we wanted to explore some of the trails that were visible from the road and on the maps, but most of them were overgrown and nor rideable, so every time we ended up returning to the road. Later, we realised that our efforts were unnecessary because after reaching the ridge, we had enough beautiful trails and there were no need for additional exploring.
I was excited how good emtb handles these kind of trails and I’m happy because I know that from now I will open another box of trails that I can ride with an e-bike. And also electric bike isn’t so much heavy, so carrying bike on the shoulders would not be much problem. After riding on the ridge and enjoying view of the nature, we descended on steeper trail that led from peak Hudi Konec to stone pit. A small part of the trail (about 100 meters of length) wasn’t doable with bike because the tree fell, and it was too steep and risky to ride, but after that fun begun.
If you still have energy after this route, you can follow our track and take cable car to Velika Planina and descent to Dolski Graben, but be warned that this trail isn’t good as it used to be, because it is destroyed.
