After Saturday rain today turned nice, beautiful, fresh and sunny morning, perfect for a pleasant bike tour. Said, done. Start from home at Tinje, descend towards Sl. Bistrica, continue to Oplotnica and Malahorna, then climb via Gorenje above Zreče to village Božje at about 900m asl, short descent to Lukanja and then quite steep climb directly to Osankarica. Then just some easy biking to Tri Kralji and descent home. Total good 1200m elevation and 55km, and a bit over 3 hours of biking pleasure.

small hamlet Lukanja, located along the road Oplotnica-Pesek

Too little time for mountains as I had free only morning. So I hop on bike and do circular tour around Pohorje. Start at Tinje, direction Keblje and Cezlak, then above Lokanja turn left to Planina na Pohorju, where soon join main road Zreče-Rogla, continue to Rogla, descent to Pesek and on to Spodnja brv where turn left over barrier on forest road to Osankarica and via Tri Kralji back home.
Total approx 62km and 1400m ascent.
Weather nice and just fresh enough.

Cezlak, here they supposedly break the most beautiful stone in Slovenia

Forecasters predicted very hot day today, so relatively early start on bike tour. From Tinje bike to village Urh, to Smrečno, then turn left to Areh or Šumik and continue to Klopni vrh. From Klopni vrh to Zgornja brv below Pesek, then enjoyable descent to village Lukanja, then again slight ascent to village Kot na Pohorju. Then descent to Keblje and couple km biking home.
Total 54 km and approx 1200m ascent.
Would mention that in this dog heat on Pohorje still cool enough, as paths mostly in shade of Pohorje forests, and plenty streams for refreshment. Slightly annoying only gravel roads newly leveled and sprinkled with fresh gravel, tricky for biking. But once washed, driven and settled it will be better.
Regards.
