About the route
For lovers of trekking and road cycling there is an attractive route that takes you through some of the finest landscapes around Novi Marof and lets you explore some of the town's most interesting natural and historic sights. From the centre of Novi Marof it runs through picturesque hills and the Bednja valley to the north-west and west of the town: Novi Marof – Podevčevo – Sveti Ilija – Tužno – Bela – Podrute – Novi Marof.
On the way you pass Čevo, the “Zagorje Klek” well known to local hikers, tackle a few short climbs, enjoy the view of the walls of Bela castle and refresh yourself at the Belski dol drinking-water spring. In its final part the route passes through Topličica, home to a popular open-air pool, which adds more opportunities for fun and relaxation in nature.
The route is paved throughout, so it suits both trekking and road cyclists.
