The EUR 1 million cycle project, which will be implemented under the Agreement on the Development of the Osrednjeslovenska region, will be supported by the EU, with the contribution from the European Regional Development Fund standing at EUR 733,000.
As part of the project, municipality Kamnik will develop a cycling connection between Kamnik and Godič to make sure that Kamnik as an important economic and administrative centre gets connected with its hinterland.
