Traces of the Wild (Petelinov krog)

A labyrinth of forest roads and tracks marked or described in guides for mountain biking through valleys and between them, on the mountains and around them is called Traces of the Wild. The routes, which mostly run along forest roads, tracks and less trafficked, mainly gravel roads, are marked with animal footprints. The base, information, service and accommodation cycling centre is at the Ekohotel Kmetija Koroš, with the starting point for most routes in the centre of Črna na Koroškem.

The landscape at the junction of the Eastern and Central Alps is characterized by narrow mountain valleys with steep slopes interwoven with numerous forest roads, as the forest covers almost two-thirds of the area. Larger settlements are concentrated in the valley, while isolated farms in clusters characterize the higher parts of the landscape. Among the picturesque mountain valleys, Topla on the southern foothills of Pece stands out, protected as a landscape park due to its unique cultural landscape and natural environment.
