The cycling route from Nazarje to Ljubno ob Savinji runs through the picturesque Upper Savinjska Valley along the Savinja River, where quiet roads, forests and an alpine backdrop intertwine. It is one of the more popular recreational connections in the region, combining nature, local places and well-maintained cycling infrastructure.
The route is approximately 30 km long and mostly easy, with a moderate climb, so it is suitable for recreational cyclists and families.
A special feature of the route is the ride through the characteristic Savinjska landscape – from well-maintained settlements such as Nazarje and Ljubno to quiet sections along the river, where nature remains the main attraction. Ljubno ob Savinji is considered one of the central settlements in the valley and an important starting point for active tourism.
