Matajur is a 1642 meter high mountain in Julian Alps on the border of Italy and Slovenia. It is located between Soča Valley and Italian mountain region known as Venetian Slovenia, with views over Adriatic Sea. I rode this route few years ago, with the difference that I started in Livek (Slovenia), this time I made a little change so we started in Savogna (Italy) because it is better to finish a ride with descent than on paved ascent. At Savogna, near the parking spot, there is a well. Even though the sign at well says “non potabile” we drank that water :). After Livek, begins nice views on surrounding landscapes.
