Holiday apartment in Slivna – GEOSS, circular trails and traditions

The GEOSS circular route begins in Slivna and then returns to the village.

Trails

The GEOSS circular route is marked with “Pot GEOSS” signs and individual trail markers. Another option starts at the square of the Geometric Centre of Slovenia in Spodnja Slivna near Vače: this is where GEOSS GO begins. Along the route, there are marked stations, handmade mechanical puzzles and clues in an app.

Route G8 also passes through GEOSS and Slivna. A 15-minute trail branches off from it to the summit of Slivna, which is also called Pinkelj Turn. The Pot okrog Slivne circular trail leads around Slivna Hill and climbs to the 880-metre-high Pivkelj. It is considered easy and is suitable for all generations, including families with children. In clear weather, this circular trail offers views of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps.
