A nice rest hut on the way up to (or down from) Kopitnik. There's a garden filled with benches, and a clearing that provides a nice view to the north. The cottage was closed when I passed (mid-October), but it appears that during the summer season they sell food and drink.

This tiny, paved road takes you through the beautiful nature south of the Sava with almost no traffic.

Very scenic. But be aware that this road is locking you in between mountain edge and river for almost 10 km. No other roads coming in or going out. No civilization. I was there in July 2023 and had to carry my bike over a 1,50 m high landslide which blocked the road.

Wonderful, sometimes quite steep, path above the cliffs above the village of Šavna Peč. The path leads through beech forest and certainly offers a special atmosphere in every season. The highest point is a little west of Gore, only a few hundred meters from an inn, Planinski dom v Gorah.
