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).

This route is ideal for e-mtb and these kind of trails are now fully enjoyable and more rideable uphill when you have some assistance. You can also ride this route with normal bike, but be prepared to walk a little bit more on the ascents at the ridge. We parked at the parking spot of cable car to Velika Planina because my plan was to ride Dolski Graben from Velika Planina, after we descent from Kamnik. Luckily, we had time, but trail from Velika Planina was nearly destroyed due to large amounts of rain that poured out last year.

Vajnež is the highest peak of Belščica 2104 m high. Few years before, Ivan, Vjeko and me went on Stol (peak near Vajnež) so we actually knew what to expect on ascent. Good amount of that route overlap with ascent to Vajnež, so we changed a little bit of our ascent to explore something new. This is the reason why we were so tired when we were just below the peak.
