Day 1: Šenk homestead – the Jezerski vrh pass (Seeberg
saddle) – the Ankova planina mountain pasture – Šenk homestead
In
the early afternoon, we expect you at Šenk homestead. After the check-in, you
will settle in your room/apartment or set up your tent. Then you can do your
first cycling tour while staying on Jezersko. Cycling ascent to the Jezerski
vrh (Seeberg saddle) pass is (besides cycling through the Kokra Valley) one of
the most popular cyclist destinations. Four kilometres of the winding road will
bring you to the border with Austria. There you can turn around and descent
back to the Valley or you can turn left at the pass and continue your tour on
dirt, but a well-maintained road that will lead you to the viewing point called
Rakeževo. There you will also notice a tower with a panoramic camera. But what
is more important: This spot will reward you with an amazing view over the
Kamnik-Savinja Alps. After soaking some sun and enjoying splendid views, you
can continue your tour to the Ankova planina mountain pasture. There used to be
a frontier watch house. This is also the final stop of your tour. It is time to
go back to Šenk homestead. At your request, we can serve a delicious 4-course
dinner, made of ingredients that we grow on our homestead. In the evening you
can pamper yourself with a massage or relax in the sauna. Overnight stay.

crossroads turn left and cross a beautiful wooden bridge (you cannot miss it).
Paved road very soon starts to ascend and leads you to the former ski slope
called Mali vrh. From there you will continue on a dirt road that ascends to
the Mlinarjevo sedlo pass. There is also a very nice viewing spot that will
