Knap Trail

The longest Knap Trail route connects three municipalities - Hrastnik, Trbovlje and Zagorje. The route will take runners along the main part of Zasavje hills where they will admire beautiful scenery above the Zasavje region. Runners will climb to an altitude of over 1000 meters three times. Although many experienced runners feel at home at 50 km distances they should not take this route for granted as this is a winter trail running event and paths are usually covered in snow.
