Relaxing walk through the nice “Tivoli Park” in Ljubljana

This tour starts at the park entrance near the Ljubljana Opera (GPS 46.053414, 14.498655). Following the path by turning left and passing the Ribnik lake, the first hut invites for a cold drink. After a short refreshment, the tour then continues through the forest of the park uphill, passing by the tree with impressive roots, till reaching the highest point (429m): the transmitter-tower.
Following the trail onward leads to the Roznik church and the restaurant nearby (Gostilna Roznik), a perfect place for the next refreshment.
The tour then continues downwards, along the Zoo towards the east end of the park, where the next hut (Mostec) is located.
The final part then leads back to the east side of the park and ends at the main parking of Tivoli (next to Lepa zoga bar that invites for a recapture of the tour).
