Trail around Slivna via Pivkelj Turn is an interesting trip idea. This page includes a short description, location, photos and basic visit information.
Where does the name Slivna come from? A legend from the time of the Turkish occupation tells the story. During one of their night raids, the Turks came to the village that is now Slivna.

The trail around Slivna via Pivkelj Turn is a pleasant day-trip choice near Vače and the GEOSS area, especially if you want a calm walk rather than a rushed stop. According to the official TIC Litija description, the circular route goes around Slivna Hill, reaches Pivkelj (880 m), and is suitable for all generations, including families with children.

What to expect

The route follows cart tracks, forest paths, meadows, and narrow trails. It is well marked, so it works well as an independent hike even for visitors who do not want to study a complicated map. In good weather, you can enjoy views of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps, and farther away Triglav, Krim, Grintovec, the Sava basin, and even Učka in Croatia.
