The two bike parks – Konjice Trails (5 km of trails) and Bike Park Rogla – are must-visits on any cycling holiday in Rogla - Pohorje. Nestled in the heart of the Pohorje forest, Bike Park Rogla stretches between Mašinžaga and Ostruščica, featuring 9 different forest trails of all difficulty levels – from easy, blue flow lines to black, technical downhill runs. Plenty of flow, drops and fast corners get the heart racing – interspersed with natural forest sections that offer space to take a deep breath. The bike park offers everything you need – including hire, guides and food – and is particularly beginner-friendly: rookies can hone their skills on the dedicated practice area and gain their first downhill experience on the blue lines.

100% downhill action also awaits you at the Konjice Trails bike park. In the modern MTB area around Konjiška Gora, you’ll find a total of 5 km of natural singletrack trails over roots, rocks and forest floors.

Culture at the monastery – nature in the gorge
If you prefer a more leisurely pace, you can explore the Pohorje primeval forest on bike rides and discover idyllic forest paths, vineyards and meadows along the seven marked circular trails. The deeply carved Oplotnica Gorge offers a special experience of nature: an approximately 2 km-long nature trail leads over bridges and wooden walkways to the remains of old mills and sawmills. The 16th-century Renaissance castle of Trebnik and the Carthusian monastery in Žiče are also well worth a detour – founded in 1160, the monastery is, after all, one of the most significant medieval monastic complexes in Central Europe.
