You can plan a stay in Četena Ravan around specific places and activities: the filial church of St. Briccius, hiking trails with varied routes, and cycling routes through the hamlet. There is also accommodation with breakfast and local food. When planning your days, decide whether to focus on the church, a guided hike or cycling.

St. Briccius Church and local history

The filial church of St. Briccius in Četena Ravan is dedicated to Saint Briccius and is a cultural monument of local significance. Its building history spans the first quarter of the 16th century, the 18th century, the year 1798 and the last quarter of the 19th century. This sequence places the church within a building history comprising several periods separated by long intervals. A biographical connection is also part of the local history: the Slavicist Gregor Krek was born in Četena Ravan on 8 March 1840. Thus, alongside the religious building, the village’s history includes both a precisely dated life story and several building periods.

Hiking: varied routes and dates

When choosing a route, it is worth looking at its course. A signposted themed trail runs from Četena Ravan past St. Briccius Church towards Grebljica. The municipal hiking route from Poljane nad Škofjo Loko to Črni Kal passes through Četena Ravan and over Stari vrh. The Pot Med gorami trail starts at the Grebljica trailhead at Stari vrh, descends towards Četena Ravan and turns above the church. The hike from Javorje to the church also passes through Četena Ravan; the footpath to the church is short and steep. The routes therefore differ in their course and destination: you can include in your plans a connection between two named places, a descent towards Četena Ravan, or a route to the church. Trail conditions may change; check them before setting out.

The guided hikes also take place on different dates. A guided hike along Pot Med gorami is held every year on the first Sunday in August at 8 a.m. A guided hike along Valentinova pot takes place annually on 31 October. Before travelling, check the times and practical details for both events.

Cycling on a variety of routes

The published Loška kolesarska pot runs between Zapreval and Murave through Četena Ravan. In total, it comprises well-marked cycling routes stretching 390 kilometres and divided into 13 stages. These figures refer to the Loška kolesarska pot as a whole. The Gabrška gora mountain bike route is separate and descends to the hamlet of Četena Ravan. This lets you distinguish between the section of the Loška kolesarska pot that passes through the area and a mountain bike route that runs downhill. Route conditions, surfaces and access may change; check conditions before your ride.
