MounTminBike Soca Valley Slovenia

Marijino Celje was once a very well known pilgrimage place to which a paved road led to the top. Today ruins of that road are seen only in the lower part of the descent which is quite tricky due to many forest roads crossing the trail on the way down.

Gozdec is the third descent possibility from the road up to Kanin's cable car middle station. The one down from Krnica is definitely the best, the one down the MTB park is somehow special and the third one, down from Gozdec has the most bike carrying sections :)

The trip that rounds the entire Bovec basin ends with a climb to Javorček and a drop down to Soča river. The trip passes by the oldest monument in this area, the St.Lenart church. Short but nice explorer trip. Impressions available here

Upper Soča Valley does not provide really a vast choice of mountain bike trails, but those which do all get at least four marks out of five. It's unbelievable where and what sort of single tracks you can find in those mountains where only sheep and goats dare to explore the ways ... Impressions

All day long trip toward Stol from South side. Where ascent never ends. The uphill road is loooooong. The only good thing is the view and the warm sun keeps you in a good mood. On top the 360 view is absolutely fabulous, and the 4 km long descent along the Stol crest is another superlative of this mountain. The good descents are rare, but the one directly down to Kobarid tops the dh choices.

Continuing on the road that heads to the MTB Park Kanin starting point you come to a mountain pasture Krnica under the Kanin ski area where a steep zigzag path rides the right side of Rombon mountain and drops you back down to Bovec city centre. This path is certainly more ride-able than the park one and offers from fast DH parts to some almost unridable down steps over some difficult rocky sections. This one is tricky, but in a way one of the most beautiful truly alpine MTB tracks in Soca Valley. Certainly in the club of Matajur, Stol and Razor ones!

Where there is a cable car, all you need to find is an old shepherd path that goes down near it and you've got the MTB Park. And that's it. Bovec MTB park it just that. The downhill section is divided in three parts due to two road crossings and the most difficult part comes in the lowers part that brings you back to Bovec. The park is equipped with "north shore" construction elements to allow fast curving, challenging obstacles surmounting and dare testing for the brave ones.
