From Senovo to Bohor – A Remote Ascent
he climb to Bohor, a forested mountain ridge rising above the Sotla Valley near Senovo and Krško, is one of eastern Slovenia’s hidden cycling challenges. At over 1,000 meters of elevation, Bohor combines long, steady gradients with peaceful forested roads, making it a rewarding climb for those who enjoy quiet, natural surroundings. The ascent can be approached from several sides, with one of the most popular routes starting in Senovo. From the valley floor, the road rises steadily, offering gradients of 6–8% over much of the climb. Although there are occasional steeper ramps above 10%, the climb’s character is defined more by its consistency than sudden brutality. This makes Bohor a test of endurance rather than explosive power, and a climb well-suited for pacing and rhythm.
Cycling Bohor – A Plateau Above the Sotla Valley
The scenery is dominated by dense beech and fir forests, creating long stretches of shade and seclusion. In spring and summer, wildflowers and birdsong accompany the ride, while in autumn, the forests transform into a sea of vibrant colors. Traffic is minimal, as Bohor remains far from the busier tourist and alpine routes, giving the climb a sense of remoteness and discovery. At the top, the Bohor plateau opens into meadows, hiking trails, and mountain huts. The summit area offers expansive views across the Sotla Valley, Krško Basin, and toward the Zasavje Hills. The sense of achievement is amplified by the quiet atmosphere—this is not a crowded pass but a retreat into nature. For cyclists, Bohor is more than just a climb; it is an experience of Slovenia’s lesser-known eastern mountains. Challenging yet not extreme, scenic yet secluded, Bohor deserves a place on any cyclist’s list of hidden gems.
