It was a perfect summer’s day. Not too hot but still sunny and a deep blue sky. We headed off from our camp site on road bikes towards Trenta. After gathering a bit of info about the park for our upcoming cunning plan we cycled up to Vršič, a pass of many switch-backs. The explorers Cris and Gina first discovered the pass in 2006. After ascending the 1200-ish m to the pass we dropped down to Kranjska Gora where we gorged ourselves on many nice things caught from the local supermarket.
We then headed towards Italy along a well-kept cycle way, part of the Adria-Trail. From Tarvisio in Italy we headed up to Passo di Predil and then had a nice descent down to Bovec. The descent was much more pleasant than the first descent, which was made difficult by the cobble stones on each corner. The carbon forks didn’t help a lot to reduce the jolting.
Above left: We did a loop over a pass and then into Italy and back over another pass into Slovenia. It was a nice day for it and much warmer than our previous ride. Above right: After riding through a patch of Italy we ascended back to the Slovenian border and crossed over at Passo Predil.
Above left: Then we had a delicious descent back to Bovec. Above right:In the evening we went and checked out the Soca.
