Kriška gora trail

The start of the 50 km course, named Kosuta, will be in the center of Trzic, in front of the Pavilion. The route will take us through the old town center and join the marked mountain trail towards Kamnek. From Kamnek, the trail continues in a running pace across Planina Kal towards the most beautiful mountain ridge, Kosuta. We first reach the area below Planina Kofce, followed by Planina Sija, where the first refreshment station is located, and then continue across the most scenic Trzic pastures to Planina Dolga Njiva, where another refreshment station awaits. We proceed along the Slovenian-Austrian border, crossing Plesivec and following the slopes of Stegovnik, through the forested embrace of Javornik to Dom pod Storzicem. At Dom pod Storzicem, you will find a refreshment station and also a time checkpoint. From the Dom, a pleasant hiking trail leads to Planina Mala Poljana, where we join the 11 km and 21 km courses. A climb towards Tolsti Vrh follows, which is also the highest point of the trail. From the Kriska Gora ridge, we descend at a relaxed pace towards the Koca on Kriska Gora, where we will refresh ourselves, and then descend along the so called classic path towards the valley, finishing in front of the Zavetisce in Gozd.

The start of the 21 km course will be in front of the Zavetisce in Gozd at 9 a.m. The trail follows marked mountain paths through the village of Gozd. A climb towards Tolsti Vrh follows.
