About This Route

[eng] Short circular trail, running along the Javorniki foothills above Lake Cerknica and offering fantastic views of the lake and Mount Slivnica.

Starting point is at the parking lot at the end of the village of Dolenje Jezero from where you set off on a macadam road. After about 1.5 km, keep right where there is a minor 500-m climb. After making the climb, turn right towards the village of Dolenja vas. The ride along the Javorniki foothills provides some magnificent views of Lake Cerknica and Mount Slivnica. The trail takes you past the ruins of Karlovec Castle, which is connected with the legend of the creation of the lake, and above the Jamski zaliv cove, with ponor caves such as Velika and Mala Karlovica. After a 6-km ride, you arrive to Dolenja vas, where you cross the little bridge to your right, behind the village fire station. Two more km and you return back to the starting point in Dolenje Jezero.

 

[slo] Krajša krožna pot vas bo popeljala mimo ostankov gradu Karlovec nad Cerkniškim jezerom. Vodi ob vznožju Javornikov in ponuja nekaj izjemnih razgledov na jezero in Slivnico.

Izhodišče je na parkirišču ob koncu vasi Dolenje Jezero, od koder se odpravite naprej po makadamski poti. Po približno kilometru in pol na križišču zavijete desno, kjer se pot za krajši čas vzpne. Ob koncu približno 500 metrskega vzpona zavijete desno proti Dolenji vasi. Med kolesarjenjem ob vznožju Javornikov se vam nekajkrat ponudi veličasten razgled na Cerkniško jezero in Slivnico. Kolesarite nad jamo Skadulco, nato mimo mesta, kjer je nekdaj stal grad Karlovec, s katerim je povezana legenda o nastanku Cerkniškega jezera, ter nad Jamskim zalivom s požiralnimi jamami, kot sta Velika in Mala Karlovica. Po šestih kilometrih prispete v Dolenjo vas, kjer za gasilskim domom zavijete desno čez mostiček in se po dveh kilometrih vrnete na izhodišče v Dolenje Jezero. Pot  je 11 kilometrov dolga, makadamska in večinoma položna s po enim krajšim vzponom in spustom.
