Krvavec Bike Park

The Krvavec Bike Park has no fewer than 27 km of marked cycling trails and downhill runs for all tastes and levels of cycling skills. Ride down 16 km of gravity-defying trails that are suitable for beginners, cyclists with advanced skills, and pros, who just want to spend an exciting day on their bike. At the same time, the park offers the greatest altitude difference in downhill runs among the bike parks in Slovenia.

Sail in the wind like a bird

Krvavec is a very popular take-off spot for paragliders due to its proximity to Ljubljana and the ease and speed of access. Take a cableway up to the take-off spot and enjoy a long panoramic flight with the view of the Kamnik and Savinja Alps and the Karavanke Alps. Excellent conditions for paragliding allow tandem flights, so Krvavec is an excellent choice for your first paragliding experience.

On hiking and cycling trails

You can follow marked trails to ascend Mt Štefanja Gora, Mt Šenturška Gora, Ambrož, or the summit of Mt Krvavec. You can cycle on more than 130 km of well-maintained cycling trails, in valleys and mountains, on road or mountain bikes.

Preserved reminders of time gone by

Discover how rich townspeople, affluent inn-keepers, enterprising farmers and bee-keepers once lived in Cerklje. See the villa of the patriotic mayor of Ljubljana from the late 19th century, Ivan Hribar, and the mighty Petrovc House in the centre of Cerklje, which houses a small ethnological and archaeological museum and the Bee-Keeping and Agricultural Museum. Learn about the home and the work of the important citizens of Cerklje, giants of Slovenian culture.

The Fest po Rokovem Festival

Visit the annual fun cultural event called Fest po Rokovem. Walk among the stands with cottage industry products and handicraft products, participate in various workshops, and taste some home-made goods. The main part of the event is the Folklore Festival, at which folklore groups from various towns and villages of Slovenia present themselves.

A getaway on a mountain farm

Make time stand still by spending your holiday on a mountain farm. Friendly hosts will give you a warm welcome, serve you home-made food, and introduce you to the activities on the farm and in the surrounding area. You can help with farm chores or explore the surrounding nature. After a difficult day, rest on a wood-fired oven and try sleeping in a hayloft.

A pilgrim’s path for all of Gorenjska

Visit the well-known pilgrim church, St Mary of the Annunciation, which has catacombs and the oldest statue of Mary with Jesus in Slovenia. Under the church, there are “catacombs,” intended for the burial of the nuns from a nearby convent. The Velesovo Mother of God has been one of the greatest pilgrimage destinations in the Gorenjska region for centuries. For over 150 years, the greatest gathering has been on the Sunday after the Nativity of Mary when a procession of pilgrims carries Mary’s statue.
