24. Matajur na južno stran *****

One of Soca Valley's top mountain bike places. Being the highest mountain in its nearby area it offers a 360 view reaching as far as the Adriatic sea on a clear day. The climb is not technical save for a few sections on the last part, but the steepness at the beginning and the 1500m of altitude gain will still make you work hard for the descent. There are a couple of options to return down from the vista-rich mountaintop, the best being a long & flowy singletrack to the Italian side. The fast pace on the way down and a long traverse roller coasting up and down will drain the majority of your leftover energy, making your way back to Kobarid a long one. But all this hard work is easily offset by the beauty of the ride. Just be sure to come fit.
