SEMIČ - MIRNA GORA

[EN] All paths that make their way towards Mirna gora are too many to count in one go. Mirna gora and the surrounding paths attract recreational enthusiasts as well as all other visitors to Bela krajina. A 36 km long cycling path predominantly makes its way through forest roads, so we must make sure to check the suitability of our tubes before embarking on this cycling expedition.

________________________
[SI] Poti, ki vodijo na Mirno goro, ne moremo prešteti na prste ene roke. Mirna gora in poti okoli nje privabljajo tako rekreativce kot druge obiskovalce Bele krajine. 36 km dolga kolesarska pot poteka večinoma po gozdnih cestah, zato moramo preveriti ustreznost svojih zračnic, preden se podamo na preizkušnjo.
