I’ve heard about this trail from a lot of people and this is probably one of the most famous trails in Slovenia. Since we were on our way to Mežica to ride also very famous ridgeline trails we planned to make one stop in Slovenj Gradec to visit Partyzanka. And with partyzanka started one of the best bike weekends. We parked our car at the end of the trail (which is our preferable parking spot on any mtb ride), and from there started our ascent. Uphill is pretty much straightforward and first 10 km is on paved road, after that we turned left on gravel road for about 3 km until we reached hut (which didn’ work).

Ascent is gentle, and you can even shuttle with a car. After reaching the top we took same rest, but we soon realized that storm is closing by and we decided to go for a run before it pours down on us. Problem was that it was already raining that day so surface was a little bit wet with slippery roots.Thad made descent more interesting.

We only did one descent and we were in a hurry so we didn’t have time so repeat or try gaps. Trail is very well built, and you can see that someone did his best into construction of this trail, but i wouldn’t go so far and call this trail the best in Slovenia. Trail is good, with beautifull forrest and berms, but in my opinion lacks diversity. All in all I would recommend you to visit this trail, and preferably repeat it al least 2-3 times to use potential of this trail.
