On a wonderful, crystal-clear December day I set out to explore the Snežnik plateau – an area that always surprises anew with its wild beauty, forests and breathtaking views.
This adventure started in the quiet village Vrbica (427 m) near Ilirska Bistrica. Already the initial kilometers through the enchanting Reka river valley announced that the day would be something special. This was followed by the ascent to the mighty Snežnik plateau, where I visited several peaks and enjoyed the complete silence of the high forests.
The first goal was Goljak (1145 m), then the highest point of the tour – Veliki Razbor (1300 m), which offered one of the nicest views on the entire path. The descent to below Kozlek was a real fairy-tale experience, but soon the hardest part of the day followed: 150 elevation meters of a very demanding uphill by bike, which brought me to the top of Kozlek (997 m), where there is also a pleasant mountain hut.
From the top I descended towards Srednji vrh (910 m) and Sopilo (869 m), then an attractive final descent back to the valley awaited me, to the starting point in Vrbica.
In total I rode 35 km and overcame 1150 elevation meters. On the path exceptional views opened to the entire Reka river valley, to Kvarner Bay and also the islands Krk and Cres.
