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.
