Itinerary description

Show original

Pleasant ride that reaches the summit of Nanos (Pleša) starting from Podkraj. Almost everything on dirt roads (some sections on asphalt) except for a piece of about one kilometer on an easy single-track / mule track shortly after the junction for Suhi Vrh.
A bit tiring because of the ups and downs that increase the total height difference.
The detour to Suhi Vhr is not worth it because it is all covered by trees as well as the track that can be seen descending along the ridge under San Geronimo which is not all pedaled.
With the exception of very short stretches, the tour is also feasible for gravel.
Possibility of refreshment at the summit (refuge under construction, but container replacing it), at Eko Koča and from Abram.

One of the sparse buildings, with stones on the roof to keep the tiles in place when the Bora blows.

San Geronimo

San Geronimo. The track that you see running on the ridge is difficult and not entirely pedaled: it is better to return to the road and continue on that.
