Cycling routes

For the development of green tourism, Lovrenc na Pohorju has wonderfully signposted cycling routes as well as well-kept walking and mountain trails. Mountain hiking is very popular. Waymarked trails lead to Rdeči breg, Koglerjev vrh, Klopni vrh and Pesek. The most beautiful of all is certainly the trail to the Lovrenc Lakes – a bog at the top of Pohorje with 11 small lakes. As Lovrenc is surrounded by vast forests, which have always left a strong mark on life in Lovrenc, we have laid out the Ruta Forest Educational Trail. It is about three kilometres long, and along it you can see tree species not native to Pohorje: Lawson cypress, Douglas fir and eastern white pine. The trail runs through the Štiblerjev vrh forest reserve.
