Špilk

After a hearty breakfast, we start our gravel bike tour directly in front of the Hotel Grof****. First we follow the main road in the direction of Ljubljana. After around six kilometres, we turn left at the "Zaplanina" sign and arrive in a quiet village that stretches along the Zaplaninščica stream. The road gradually begins to ascend here. After leaving the village behind, continue straight ahead at a crossroads and descend to Šentgotard and then to Trojane. There we cross the main road again and come to a gravel track that leads us up a gentle, shady slope to the Lipovec farm. From here we enjoy impressive views - to the right of the hills above Motnik and to the left of the majestic Kamniško-Savinj Alps. Our route continues towards the Kamniško-Savinja Alps. A wide gravel road takes us to the starting point for the highest peak in the municipality of Blagovica - Špilk. The descent then begins on a well-maintained gravel track down to the main road to Špitalič. We continue towards Motnik, but turn left shortly before reaching the village of Bela. Here the path leads us to the Church of St. Nicholas, where the last five kilometres of the climb await us. Before we return to the municipality of Vransko, we have another wonderful view of Zaplanina and Zahomce. After a rapid descent through the village of Vransko, we return to the Hotel Grof, where we can relax at the end of the tour and replenish our energy reserves.
