The heart trail by the pond Vrbje at Žalec

The Coronary Club Savinjska dolina Žalec was one of the first in Slovenia to set up the Heart Path in September 2011, which runs along the Vrbje pond, 1.5 km from Žalec. The trail begins at the information point of the Vrbje pond and continues through part of the protected landscape park, along the outskirts of the Vrbje pond, part of the Natura 2000 area. The Hmeljarska pot also runs along the same route. At the end of the trail, you can have refreshments in a pleasant restaurant by the pond.

The Heart Path is marked with 16 signs that are distributed along the entire path. Exercises with instructions for implementation are drawn on each board. Exercises should be performed slowly, calmly, movements should be easy, without tension. As with all our activities, personal capacity should be taken into account, not competition. There are also rest benches along the way. The route is about 1.7 km long, and the section to the Šeško bridge is about 3.5 km long.
