Along Erasmus’ Cycling Trail

Erasmus’ Cycling Trail is an excellent choice for families who enjoy exploring nature at their own pace. The route starts in Razdrto and follows a quiet paved road through Veliko Ubeljsko and Malo Ubeljsko, making for a calm and easy start. It then continues through the village of Strane, where you’ll find one of the trail’s most memorable stops for both children and adults: the thickest, and according to local tradition, the oldest yew tree in Slovenia. A short break, a story about the ancient tree, and a family photo make the perfect motivation to continue.

Local stories

Erasmus of Predjama

Back when knights still rode across the land of Carniola, a castle unlike any other stood beneath a mighty cliff. Predjama Castle, built high into the rock cliff, appears extraordinary and unconquerable at first sight. It is linked to the story of a knight who continues to capture the imagination to this day – Erasmus of Predjama.
