This is one of the epic routes that we ride maybe few times per year where we get our boundries examined in detail both in term of fitness and technical riding. For our effort we were rewarded with beautiful views.
Start of the route is in Belca settlment in the Municipality of Kranjska Gora in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. We parked our car and from there followed bike lane that goes along river Sava (here in Slovenia Sava has karst riverbed, in Croatia Sava is muddy river). After about 6 km, we turned right on the main road in Gozd Martuljek, and from there followed ascent to Srednji vrh. At the beginning, ascent is on paved road with views on Julian Alps.

Due to Korona lockdown between Croatia and Slovenia, I accumulated many plans for our MTB trips in Slovenia, so when borders opened we chose to ride on Dovška Rožca mountain and saddle Mlinca. It is very nice and short tour which starts in the exactly the same place as tour that Gojsi and I rode last year Golica. I alredy knew that we should expect wonderful trails and views because trails engraved on this part of Slovenian mountains cannot be disappointing.

Golica is a mountain in Slovenian Alps located on western part of Karavank Alps. We visited this mountain in June, and picked a perfect day for this trip. Even though Golica is very close to Stol , it is very different from that route. We parked on parking lot in Mojstrana, and started to ride on south side of river Sava. There is flat bicycle lane, which is great for warming up. Our route goes on this lane for a few km.

After crossing river Jesenica we went left following the road for Golica and there starts ascent on paved road. After 13 km of pedaling we stumbled on well. Little refreshing, snack and we continued forwards. From here starts views on pastures.
