Three years ago, I was in Tolmin and biked there for four days and explored local mountains by bike. This year I decided to go back with frends and ride again. Razor was, and still is one of my favorite rides. Our route starts in Tolmin (very popular destination with tourists interested in outdoor activities) city near Italy. We parked our car on very big parking spot with no entrance fee. From that parking spot starts our ride. First part of the route is on narrow paved road which leads to Tolminske Ravne pasture. From Tolminske Ravne starts ascent to Razor hut, at some parts ascent sections were too steep, so sometimes we had to get off our bikes, and give it a little push (after cca 1 km from Tolminske Ravne there is a spring well).

Gozd Martuljek is a settlement in the municipality of Kranjska Gora in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. After the World War I this area was full of flour mills, charocoal burners and forges. Today this place breathes some more peaceful way of life and is a real promised land for outdoor adventures. From the Gozd Martuljek you have a nice view on south to Škrlatica mountain which is part of Julian Alps. On the north, there is Trupejevo Poldne peak which is part of Western Karawanks. This peak is accessible from Gozd Martuljek and today my friend Žac and I decided to visit this peak that allegedly has a nice view to Julian Alps and South Austria.
