Dirt road with a moderate gradient; climbing in the wet requires a lot of grip! Fun to ride on a mountain bike.

Stunning view from the top of the platform, with clear weather you can easily see the coastline, the north-eastern alps & the julian alps. Hard climb but absolutely worth it.

Forest road with compact surface, mixed earth, smooth transverse stones, steps, with good average slope. Lots of legs and good technique, tiring and fun climb.

The basilica of Montesanto, Sveta Gora in Slovenian, is part of a series of Marian places of worship connected to each other by paths taken by many pilgrims. Destroyed and rebuilt several times due to the wars that have devastated these lands, the basilica basically has a simple structure and furnishings, but the strong point is the magnificent panorama that opens up in every direction. From here, in addition to various dirt paths, there is also a paved road and a rather demanding downhill path dedicated to MTBs.

Hi, maybe you could know more precisely where you took the 1st, 3rd and 4th picture, because I'm from the area and when I go this way I don't see what's in the picture lp
