27. Mija / Monte Mia ****

Looking so not attractive, this 1200m hill top doesn't realy look as a favorable mtb destination. So wrong. Its dense forest provides excellent shield from hot summer sun, and the best on this hill starts at its top - descent. If the one from Stol to Kobarid is intense this one is non-stop technical. Steep descent plus many of stone stairs sections on the path makes it really interesting. But surely brings a smile on your face once back in the valley.
