CYCLE ROUTE VIDOŠIČI
This route takes you away from the town centre, past the three gothic pilgrimage churches, through the enchanting silver birch forest with bracken undergrowth, past the undulating landscape full of vineyards and vineyard cottages, straight to the wine capital Drašiči. On the way back the route meets the Kolpa river in the village Božakovo, which also features two caves. You can quench your thirst at a spring or in one of the many wine cellars along the way.
