For a weekend I camped with my family in our new tent which we bought for new camping adventures. We stayed in camp Slatina near Martinšćica. I haven’t had any gpx prepared for ride, so night before I looked on map for some local trails hoping to come out with something interesting. My plan was to visit Lubenice from Martinšćica and then descent back, trying to collect as biggest possible percentage of trails avoiding asphalt road as much as possible.

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.

For the last day of our mtb weekend we rode in Osp & Tinjan. Day before we rode near Novo Mesto and pedaled 1600 meters of elevation gain. We were a little bit tired, but descents were interesting so we didn’t want that fatigue comes in our way. We parked in small village called Osp. There is parking space near restaurant and also food is good there, so after ride go grab something to eat over there ( even though this is the only place for food in village, so you don’t gave much choice).
