Loka – K42, Tržiška Bistrica and culture in the surrounding area

The K42 mountain bike loop – Rožnovenska pot po kolesarsko runs through Loka and returns to Tržič. This places the village along a clearly described route, whose further details lie between forest paths, a stream and the surrounding mountains.

Cycling

K42 – The Rosary Trail by bike turns off the main road onto a forest path at the bus stop in Loka. The mountain bike route is 20 kilometres long and takes approximately 2.5 hours. From Loka, K42 – The Rosary Trail by bike crosses a stream and then heads towards Hušica. The combination of the route name, turn-off, surface, length and approximate duration describes the route in a series of clearly distinguishable sections.

En route

The Loka–Kovor footpath includes a sidewalk at the junction to Loka and in the underpass area of the state road. There is also a bus stop towards Bistrica before the junction to Loka. Both references to the villages are directly linked to specific points around Loka: the footpath between Loka and Kovor, the junction and the area of the state road.

Nature

The older houses in Loka were built by the stream. In the past, a stream ran through Loka, and Loka had fields that were quite wet because of the water. Water is therefore part of both the historical structure of the village and the traditional description of the fields. The three aspects remain distinct: older houses by the stream, a stream that once ran through the village and wet fields as a result of the water.

Kriška Gora is a mountain in the vicinity of Loka, as is Dobrča. The mountains of Konjščica and Storžič are also located in the area around Loka.
