Slovenia - Day 4 - Tolmin - Porezen
This is the route we biked today:
We started with a ride of 10km through the valley with beautiful views of the river. After this we had something to eat and tackled our first climb of the day. Again a spicy one but all on asphalt.
Hairpin galore
Cycled 12.6km, climbed 252m, currently at 268m high.
After the first part of the climb we had an early lunch in Ponikve and we were able to refill our water. After this we continued our climb and reached a ski(uhu) club were we met a couple of guys drinking beers. We got a coffee and didn’t understand anything the locals said 😅 After that we continued on to the top.
Easy gate? Nono lift your bike over please!
Cycled 21.6km, climbed 810m, currently at 859m high.
As we switched routes we now got to experience more offroad which included multiple gates we had to go through. This part was nice but we had full on grass which made riding uphill really exhausting.
Really njammie juice!
Cycled 30.6km, climbed 1017m, currently at 692m high.
At the place where we were thinking of ending there was a nice place where got really nice juice to drink. As it was only 13:30 we decided to get all our water filled up and continue on. The guy told us that there was a hunter’s lodge higher up which we could use.
Cool spot to wild camp
Cycled 35.3km, climbed 1432m, currently at 1108m high.
The climb up was the heaviest untill now and i had to hike my bike regularly. We arrived at the lodge around 15:30 and after some thinking we decided to spend the night here.
We had some emergency meals and we’ll have a good night hopefully.
See you tomorrow!
