Why choose GoodTrail?
We are a passionate group of experts with over ten years of experience in developing sustainable tourism products using cutting-edge modern technology. The GoodTrail (GT) team not only creates top-quality routes for diverse travelers, but also leads the development of the route from conceptual design, to opening and its promotion worldwide. We make sure that local people play a key role in this process.
For destinations that want to put new adventure routes on the global tourism map, nothing is more important than creating interesting, easy-to-understand and memorable stories. In some destinations, this story will tell how the route connects important historical points, while in others the routes will cross borders, combine cultures, include a variety of cuisines, explore musical traditions, and cross areas of different languages and religions. Elsewhere, the route will represent the first connection of epic landscapes into a single sustainable tourism product.
The GT team’s system for developing adventure routes enables the development and promotion of quality routes that are adapted to a specific destination; from researching undiscovered corners of the destination and processing map data to cooperation with local stakeholders and marketing the uniqueness of the new route to travelers and tourists all over the world.

Matic Klanjšček
Being a geodesist by profession, Matic had been active in the field of cartography and marine hydrography for a long time. He made a decision to start his own business (and later on to join the GoodPlace team), which was partly connected with his primary expertise of spatial informatics and gradually more and more with mountain bike guiding and the growth of tourism products related to it.
During his youth, he was active in sports, particularly in athletics. Later on, he became more devoted to mountaineering challenges. As climbing and expeditions took a lot of time, his passion for alpinism was eventually replaced by cycling. In recent years, Matic has been focused on mountain biking – in his free time as well as in the role of a mountain biking guide.

He is a mechatronics engineer by education, but by interest he did many different stuff: he raced motorbikes, created content for various printed and digital automotive media, helped organize motorcycles tours, and in all this took care of the copywriting, photography and video recording as well as editing the websites and social media.
Matevž has a wide range of skills, which he likes to use to participate in projects with a sustainable orientation in recent years. Otherwise, he likes to hike in the mountains, cycle, freedive, take care of the garden and cook.
