The Climb to Pohorje

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A very beautiful descent. The lower part is sunny. For the ascent, I recommend the route via Fram - Kopivnik - Planica: small roads that lead mostly through the forest. Less traffic, more shade. Just search for "The descent to Fram"; it's definitely the nicer ascent.

Church of Sveti Areh

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Sveti Areh occupies a pleasant spot in the Pohorje Mountains just by the Ruško koča mountain hut at the western end of the Mariborsko Pohorje ski resort. It was first mentioned in 1545, though the current building dates from the 1650s and was renovated in both 1999 and 2018 to give it its present appearance. Below the church is a natural spring that's said to have healing powers.

Ruška Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Ruše Hut (Ruska koca) is a mountain hut in the Pohorje Mountains. It was built by locals in 1907. Over the years, the building has been expanded and now offers accommodation for hikers. The hut is open all year round. You can easily make a reservation online: ruskakoca.si.

House on the Hill

Highlight • Settlement

This turn is super easy to miss and it is 50m further down where the route takes you. At the top of the hill the house has a loose german shepherd. He was cautious as was I but he is there to protect the house. So be mindful and dont do any sudden moves.
