Yesterday we rode 24th stage and the rest of 25th stage, so the route Brežice - Podsreda Castle - Hut on Bohor - Planina pri Sevnici - Šentjur. jezik

The route mostly follows asphalt paths and is almost entirely well marked. The whole route is normally rideable, only one descent (Turnče) we preferred to walk due to narrow and steep path and one ascent (19th km in 25th stage) was too demanding for us to ride due to destroyed track. mrk pogled

Hut on Bohor is closed on Mondays, but since the warden was tidying the surroundings, he kindly unlocked for us to refresh with drinks and stamp the STKP stamp, which is otherwise in the hut. nasmeh

Regarding logistics, a friend accompanied us to Brežice in the morning, who then drove the car home, so our older son could come pick us up in Šentjur in the afternoon. We're getting old, kids are growing, but there's something good for everyone. velik nasmeh

Otherwise it's quite a long route with lots of elevation, we arrived in Šentjur just as the first drops fell. mežikanje

starts at the Mladinski center, where there is a stamp

a little off the path is Banova homestead

after the descent and crossing the main road, the first sign for Bohor

turn the view back to the previous picture

and STKP sign, now we have connected from Brežic to Mežica

at Kozjanska homestead, where there is STKP stamp

in Slivnica pri Celju it's already clouding over

in Šentjurju the storks are already preparing for the thunderstorm

This time during family vacation we biked a bit on 5th stage from 33 km of the route in Radovna (junction where the path descends from gravel to asphalt, near 9 km mark in Radovna), we parked the car there, to Blacksmith's Hut in Krma and further to Slovenian Alpine Museum. Since my STKP booklet edition doesn't have Aljažev dom in Vrata, we continued on the route of 6th stage to Gozd Martuljek along the bike path. Next day through Kranjska Gora and Krnica to Mihov dom for well-deserved lunch. nasmeh

which leads to the right path, viewed backwards, signs however to the left

we walk to Krede, the nicer Krede is in Radovna

I return alone back past Gogalova linden tree

Gozd Martuljek and one of the most beautiful panoramas on STKP

we continue the next day below Špik with neighbors

the youngest one refreshed himself in V. Pišnica

in June we turned here into Kačji graben and to Špik

can go over the bridge, but through the water is more fun

Today we rode the rest of 34th stage and initial descent of 35th stage, so Mežica - Hut on Pikovem - Dom na Peci - Topla. mežikanje

The whole route is nicely marked and runs on asphalt, gravel and forest paths. The toughest are the last 2 km to Dom na Peci, which are hard to ride in one go, maybe someone ... eek

Return on the main road through Črna na Koroškem back to Mežica, a bit already on the new bike path. nasmeh

maybe once more via the variant through the mine

we have already ridden left, today right

at this bend Peča is nicely visible and ...

Marholče was waiting for me because I am slower

descent on the right and steeply up on the left road

interesting church of St. Helena next to the hut

after the steep unrideable section, a nicer section follows

also uphill here is unrideable in my opinion

to the Jakobe parking lot there is a nice road

reminder of the cycling struggles of Uršlja gora

from here about 2 km, about 300 m elevation gain, ...

and the third highest point on the entire STKP

followed by about 7 km descent on the same path

to this intersection, where it continues right

here right into Topla then we will continue, once ...

For three days we headed to Primorska. jezik

We left the car in the parking lot in the village of Skadanščina and after approx. 10 km we were in Krvavi Potok, where at the 6th km we joined stage 15. The stage runs on asphalt and gravel roads, the hardest is the descent from Socerb on a bad path to Osp. On the first day we finished a bit off the route in Izola. mežikanje

On the second day via Strunjan we finish stage 15 in Piran and continue along stage 16. When we leave the crowd of coastal towns, we cycle along the Dragonja river valley in solitude all the way to the end of the stage in Marezige, where we fall into the crowd again. eek

This is followed by continuation along stage 17 to Podpeč, where we slept, but before that we ate very well in Hrastovlje. velik nasmeh

On the last day there was still the ascent to Slavnik, where stage 17 ends, and the descent along the initial part of stage 18. The steepest was the ascent to Slavnik in the middle section, but the descent to our starting point was really pleasant.
Stamps are everywhere, if not STKP then from PZS.
We spent three wonderful days, of course tired at the end, but satisfied, as we got to know this part of our beautiful Slovenia a little differently. nasmeh
