9. Senica - Široko

By
Senica is a splendid alternative to avoid the main road from Tolmin to Most na Soči. The climb up from Ljubinj is intense but rewards you with an amazing view of the valley below from the viewpoint on its top. You have the full view of the artificial lake spanning from Most na Soči to Tolmin and the mountain ranges beyond it. The descent begins on a fire road but soon switches to a rocky singletrack that brings you down to Most na Soči again.
If you still have energy to burn, an even steeper climb starts towards Široko from the other side of town. With an altitude gain of 600 m in only 5km it’s not for the faint of heart. The climb follows a gravel and concrete road to the halfway point at the Klohe farm and continues on a demanding grassy tractor road on the rest. On the top another splendid view opens up and the option of replenishing your energy at the nearby tourist farm adds another bonus to this nice half day trip. To return back you can either take the same route that brought you to the top or descend on a local freeride trail. The latter is advised only for riders of good technical ability since it has some very steep sections, jumps and can often be slippery.
