The nearest mountains Oljka and Vimperk are forbidden!!!
So we have to go somewhere on our own, where everything isn't wrapped in tapes and hanging prohibitions/orders on A4 format.
I pull the 34-year-old Tomos from the garage and we go. In Sotcka two police cars overtake us and at the top of the slope set up a control point for crossing between municipalities. They don't stop us. Probably thinking: dad tuned up the Tomos a bit for Easter velik nasmeh

Everything else is in the description below, which I found on the net cool

DESCRIPTION TD ŠENTILJ
On the border between municipalities Polzela and Velenje before the place Ložnica lies Vranja peč. The cliff got its name from stories telling that crows used to live here long ago. This is a tunnel carved by water over millennia flowing from one valley to another. The tunnel is around 60-70m long and slightly twisted, giving it special charm. A stream flows through it along which we can safely walk during low water level. Above the entrance rises a high cliff which we can also visit. The visit is suitable for everyone, especially children who encounter the beauty of the karst world. The adventure is interesting because no special gear is needed. Gym shoes, hand or headlamp and change of shoes when returning are enough. The entrance to the tunnel is high and wide, water reaches the knees. Continuing through shallow water and stones leads you through a dark bend to the other side of the tunnel and you find yourself in Šentilj valley in hamlet Silova. Water is clean and if you wade carefully you can meet brook lampreys, meaning water is completely clean. Test your kids' abilities and turn off lights in the tunnel letting them find the exit themselves - best when returning and kids already know the way. Experience for kids and parents that brightens afternoon and another mosaic in discovering Slovenia's beauties.
Near the entrance to Vranja peč is abandoned BAUXITE MINE whose tunnel buried by landslide but mine entrance still clearly visible and can walk tunnel up to 20 meters. Before Vranja peč entrance small bridge leads you on marked path along Andraš path which is extremely interesting.

Thanks, nice idea again! Yeah, on closure better no comment. On all such nonsensically closed areas evening live looks like 50km marathon fast walking - everyone runs a bit and cheats, then judges pick one and punish so he follows rules velik nasmeh

I peeked it today, though in much longer hike, and these days on restriction won't explain too much where and how velik nasmeh

really nice natural creation. Maybe worth moving that (unnecessary) intake from hill above it underground so no one slips nasmeh

And put some sign at famous potholed road Polzela-Velenje for visitors (e.g. Vranja peč right - 100m nasmeh

). lp
