From the Valleys to the Hilltops
(Along the valley of the Raša River and the village of Skopo)
This is one of the few tours that wind along a karst river. We reach the peak after a climb to Štanjel Castle, the rich cultural heritage and geographic position of which make it one of the crown jewels of the Karst.
The tour meanders along relatively easy trails, although due to its length it is recommended for more experienced cyclists.
