Our initial plan was to ride Kofce, but due to popularity of this trail, we decided to postpone our trip, and to go on the other side of the same mountain to somewhat more secluded place than Kofce. I got three gpx tracks which I combined into one track. Plan was to visit Hajnževo saddle, Zelenjak and to ride Bornov pot. Later we canceled the last one. These gpx files I got from Aleš, he is Slovenian mountain biker, and probably a guy who biked almost everything in Slovenia and he is always helpful when I have some questions (which is lately very often). This is his region, so he investigated these parts in detail. When I got those gpx files, I decided to put them all in one trip. We parked our car in a parking lot just before the tunnel and soon started our journey. First destination is Hajnževo sedlo (saddle). First part is on gravel road. About 3 km of steepest gravel road I ever rode. Almost all the time inclination is 20% and above. After reaching some sheperd’s house starts singletrail which lasts about 1 km, and leads directly to saddle. We end our ascent at the beginning of the ferrata, which leads to Veliki vrh (peak we intended to climb by bike, but from the other side).

Finally on international ride. It is very difficult to find some time to ride after having kid, so I cherish this trips very much and I tend to enjoy this kind of rides even more than before. After long debating with myself i picked ride to mountain Dobrča. This is one of the challenging descents (and ascents) that at the time of the ride didn’t have snow on the peak. At night of our ride forecast predicted 25 cm of snow, so we were very very lucky. Dobrča is a 1634 meter high mountain located between Begunj and Tržič. From the top, which has an entry box with a stamp, the view opens only to part of the Julian Alps, and part of the western and central Karavanki. For an even better view, it’s worth climbing to Šentanski vrh, 5 minutes away. Our main destination before descent was hut “Koča na Dobrči” Which was opened at the time of our visit, and we have had great meal over there. Ivan and I had mushroom stew, and Andrej had beans. Meals are plentiful so be prepared.
