Itinerary description

Show original
There are stages that, in the beginning are mere links between point A to point B of interest and do not wait much in between, but in the end that's where the best is. There are also others that do not expect them to be especially hard and they are, so be it. In this day both things happen to us.
We were clear that we had to climb to leave the Triglav NP and the Julian Alps, heading towards the plain where Ljubljana is, but the thing is more serious than we thought. We started the morning overcoming the more than 600 m of altitude in 9 km of an "anonymous" port that, counting that yesterday we made 4 km of that ascent from Bohinjska Bistrika, it could be considered a First Book category. We must also say that we have been in the Alps for 4 days and our legs are heavy.
The ascent, still not reaching the terrifying slope figures of the Vrsic, does not grant any rest and is long and mouse, by narrow and wooded road: it seems a lost port of Navarre or Euskadi.
On the other hand, the descent that will take us to the plain, even if twisted, shows us a wide view of the mountains of this part of the Alps, with green meadows and steep slopes: here tourism does not come but we believe to be in one of the most authentic and wild places in the area. We could imagine it vaguely, but it impresses the view, as well as the speeds that we reach downwards. We can see almost jumping "crumbs" from the brake pads before attacking the curves.
After a little "bundle" to get on a road under construction, we reach the Selska River, and it's time to pedal, down the valley, yes. The road, like the landscape, is wide but pleasant, less the last kilometers before reaching Skofja Loka, that is why the traffic and that we are approaching a large town.
We visit Skofja Loka, with its picturesque old town and we head towards Ljubljana. Increasingly flatter the road and more traffic jam. In Medvode, already fearing for our physical integrity, we ask for an alternative to the main road and we are diverted by an asphalted track, which will eventually lead us to one of the many bike paths belonging to the Ljubljana network. After a good panzada of kilometers by bicycle lane (incredible the city to move in bicycle) we arrived at the historical center of the capital of country. We have run a lot and will play to get to see the semis of the Eurobasket: test passed!
