Stari trg pri Ložu to Ilirska Bistrica

The last day of the cycling tour continues across the hilly Slovenian karst and leads back to Ilirska Bistrica. The road is mostly gravel with a few kilometers of lazy country road. You can observe a number of natural karst landforms along the way with Mt. Veliki Snežnik towering above.

Discover natural funnel-shaped dolines that are several tens of meters deep between the settlements of Sviščaki and Mašun. The Grda draga depression also warrants a visit, which is one the most beautiful and prominent glaciokarstic hollows, the Sviščaki hollow, as well as the stone table and Dušan’s Rock to the north of Sviščaki.

The adventurous cyclist will undoubtedly enjoy the sweeping views stretching across the grassy Volovja reber Ridge as you cycle right below its highest points (we recommend a short detour and a quick hike to its tallest peak Velike Milanje).
