ROUTE DESCRIPTION
The starting point for cycling tours is in the city centre, opposite the Tržič bus station. Parking is possible in public parking areas (parking lots at the Municipality of Tržič, on Predilniška Road at the entrance to the city-BPT, at the Tržič Olympians Hall, along the street Za Mošenikom, among others).
Go through Tržič along the main road to the northeast (towards Lom and the Dovžan Gorge). Turn right at Slap to the first uphill section to the village of Lom pod Storžičem.
Continue past the Church of St. Catherine along the main road towards Grahovše. The Upper Lom Valley is wider and flatter, with views of Bela Peč, Javornik, and Storžič. You can see the remains of moraine material deposited here by a glacier in the upper part of the sand quarry before the village of Slaparska Vas. At Slaparska Vas you will come upon a forest road: turn left onto it at the intersection and ride uphill to the turnoff for the Rekar Farm. If you’ve forgotten to eat breakfast, you can make a stop at the farm and get some. Otherwise, continue straight on along the main gravel road past the Gabrc and Pavšel farms. There is a barrier gate across the road, where those who travel by car or motorbike contribute one euro towards road maintenance.
The road flattens out; at the intersection 400 m beyond the farm, turn left and continue uphill. After two kilometres, when the road has already begun to flatten out, look for the trail to the left that goes to Tič mountain pasture.
(Variant K24: you can continue all the way to Konjščica mountain pasture and return by the same road.)
The descent first goes along a decent trail leading to Tič mountain pasture, where an even nicer forest road begins. You will come across several gates along your ride; be sure to close them behind you. Ride past the mountain farm Pr' Tič, where you can arrange for accommodation for your next excursion in the Tržič area. The farm does not yet offer meals. Descend along the road to the intersection, where you will turn left towards Potarje and Lom pod Storžičem, then return to your starting point in Tržič.
good to know
In summer the pasture is grazed by livestock, so be sure to close gates behind you and take care not to startle the animals by going too fast.
