From the centre of Ravna Gora, take the main road in the direction of Stara Sušica, where you will enter a forest and take a gravel path around Javorova Kosa – a favourite outing spot of both locals and tourists, famous for its numerous berries and Božji Studenac source of drinking water with healing properties. Then, cycle uphill to the picturesque hamlet of Hlevci, hiding numerous fairytale-like holiday homes.

Afterwards, follow the trail down to the ethno estate in Leskova Draga, maintaining the valuable remnants of the old sawmill, watermill and mill machinery from the end of the 19th century. Keep cycling to Stari Laz and take the forest path back to Ravna Gora, passing by the Za Jasen Hunting Lodge on the way there.
