Forest educational trail Uršankovo
The Uršankova forest learning trail is located at the foot of Ruško Pohorje (2 kilometers from the center of Ruše). The forest learning trail starts at the Muc inn near the Lobničica stream. The route is circular, and you can choose between two versions: shorter (1.3 kilometers) and longer (3 kilometers) - follow the signs of the birch leaf. 11 stands are equipped with boards, where the forest and its components are represented: tree species or trees, undergrowth, medicinal plants, water regime, forest soils, connectivity of forest and animal world, and geological basis.
Path along the magical Lobnica
At the stream Lobnica, the Pohorje old-growth forest extends (steep right slope above the Lobnica), where beech, spruce and fir and rare plants found their secret shelter. Since the path goes along the valley, which was created by the Lobnica stream, it is not difficult to stick to it. The path leads you along a slightly uphill forest road along the left bank of the Lobnica stream. The longest water slide in Slovenia was held along the entire route - the Lobnica water slide (17 kilometers long, operated from 1838 to 1959). Following the path, you will reach the forest and waterfall Šumik.
Water tower
The water tower is part of the former Nitrogen Factory of Ruše and was built for its needs in 1917. It has two reservoirs of a capacity of 220 m3 and 130 m3. The height of the tower is 43 meters.
