With a relatively easy ascent from Kanal you can reach the Banščice plateau. A vast plateau that extends from Sv. Gora in the South to Most na Soči in the North. Large region with plenty of forests and forest roads and paths. This one takes you towards Jelenk hill occasionally offering some nice views to lower part of Soca Valley. To finish in stile take the Kanal's downhill path that brings you to Morsko village, just above Kanal city. Very fast downhill single track.
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.
