Few years before, we shuttled on Kraljica trail and I remember that this trail as one of the best mtb trails with few serious jumps and drops. Difference now is that we decided to go uphill by bikes and we also  visited another trail called Škabrijel. Ascent is most of the time on asphalt road, near the end we connected to macadam that leads on the entrance to Škabrijel. At the entrance is steel tower with nice view on surroundings, you can see mountain peaks and sea. Škabrijel trail was very nice, similar to Kraljica trail, but little easier. There were very well built jumps, gap jumps and drops. Few drops are very big, but mostly  there are chicken lines, so you can choose what to ride.

Day before, we shuttled on Ajdovščina and Sveta Gora and I managed to fall on my first ride on descent on Sveta Gora trail, so after the fall I became stiff and all the time I rode with brake in my head. Luckily I wasn’t injured, but I couldn’t relax anymore that weekend…  After Ajdovščina and Sveta Gora, next day we visited small Italian town on border between Slovenia and Italy.
Near Gorizia there is small hill 241 meter high. Even though elevation is not so high, it offers nice views on nearby mountains in Italy and Slovenia.
