View of the Soča Gorge

Paved road runs parallel to the Soca, certainly at different heights. In most places the river can be seen.

The Soča River has a certain magic that you can only feel once you've been there. A special place is here at the large Soča troughs - Velika korita Soča. …

July 16, 2023,Vrsic Pass - Bovec
After getting out of the gravel zone you reach another hut and a small souvenir stand with some benches to have breakfast with an excellent view. From there it's time to hit the main road again.

The downhill today will make you want to stop for taking pictures multiple times, but be aware of he trafic. It's not always easy …

Since the temperatures were also within a manageable range (6-8°C), choosing clothes was not difficult and did not require a change🤷‍♂️😬. In comparison to the Wurzenpass, the Vrsicpass with a maximum gradient of 14% is pleasant to ride, even with a steel horse and …

One of the highlights of our cycling trips this year, the ride over the Vrisic Pass.
From 806 m in Kranjska Gora, the first 12 km went up 24 switchbacks to 1611 m.
The effort was not to be underestimated despite the eBike, as it was uphill for kilometers with a gradient of 14 - 15%.
Luckily there was …
