15. Foni *

By
Foni. A forgotten village above Soča river, hidden on the northern slope of Kolovrat. Only one house is still inhabited confirming this small village’s remote location. Even home animals get scared if they see strangers coming... There was an exciting path traversing the slope from Foni down to Volče years ago but only a small part of it is still ride-able now because of lack of use and maintenance. Recomended only to those with exploratory tendencies.

22. Planina Sleme *****

By
1300m of altitude difference, 10km of ascent, 13% of average slope, with 20% steepness on the very beginning of ascent just outside Zatolmin - these are some facts that make this way up to Sleme not very popular among mountain bike riders to say the least. But there are some who like it just for these facts. The way up takes some effort but when you get to the top where the highest mountain pasture of Tolmins region lies the view opens to the Julian alps on the East and West side. From here many possibilities for descent are available. The most popular is to go down to Mederje and via Pretovč straight down to Zatolmin. The single track is always empty and it allows a very high speed descent with some rocky sections just to keep the thing interesting.

2. Kambreško **

By
A vast hilly area called Kambreško extends northwest of Kanal. The whole area is intensively covered by forests roads where a detailed map and a good sense of orientation is needed for getting around. This trip includes the climb up from Ročinj to Kambreško village and a descent down to a valley that ends at Ajba. Plus another climb to Sv. Pavel church from where an abandoned single track takes you back down to Ročinj.
