1410 Zagorje ob Savi
A perfect test of will and body Ride all the greater ascents of Zagorje in one take – we have named this circular tour Youth Marathon (Maraton Mladosti). This annual organized event can now be done any time on your own. The tour starts quite easy – a reasonably gentle ascent towards Vrhe and Gunat – but then comes a surprise. We pick up the bike and carry it on the walking path to the top of Čemšeniška planina – during the ascent, we can take a bit of a rest to enjoy the breath-taking views. From Čemšeniška planina, we pick one of the three options to descend into Izlake, where we continue towards Mlinše, to start the difficult ascent to The Zasavska Sveta gora. After some rest, we prepare for the second half of the tour – we gently descend through Pleše, Marela, and Čolnišče to Zagorje. But we are still not finished, as we still have to make the ascent through Ravenska vas to Sveti Urh, from where we finally make a descent towards Evropark.
