For the bravest there are three take-off points at the top, suitable for both beginners and more experiences paragliders and hang-gliders.

If you are flying for the first time, it is quite possible that in addition to breath-taking views, a balloon baptism awaits you.
If you are looking for different adrenaline-fueled activity, then maybe climbing on secured climbing routes (ferrates) are the right sport for you. This adrenaline activity is becoming increasingly popular in Posavje region and wider. So in a way we are quite lucky, we have one ferrata on our doorsteps, located in Lisca, with starting point in Cerje. The ferrata is rated B/C in terms of difficulty, except for the last section, which is rated D – this means it can be a challenge even for those more demanding climbers. This secured climbing route is also suitable for those who are just starting to try this sport for the first time, as individual climbing sections are short, and each climbing wall can be bypassed on foot and continued on the next section of the route, if any particular part seems too difficult. The most daring will especially enjoy the last, fifth section, which is the most exposed, technically demanding and overhanging.
You want an adrenaline challenge on two bikes? Then downhill mountain biking from either Lisca or Bohor might be the right adrenaline rush you are looking for. Numerous forest trails are perfect for those who enjoy fast adrenaline descents into the valley.
