Vikend na Primorskem obsega 200, 300 in 400 km brevete, ki bodo 16. maja in 200 km, ki  bo 17. maja 2026.

AA 300

Trasa AA 300 je letos prvič na sporedu, je pa tako lepa in lahkotna, da jo ni za izpustiti. Precejšen del bomo prevozili po kolesarski povezavi Alpe Adria, ki povezuje Salzburg (A) in Gradež (I) in je v celoti dolga 430 km. Kot vedno sledimo načelu, da poteka pa po nekaterih cestah in krajih, ki jih ne vozimo najbolj pogosto, za večino udeležencev pa bo večina ali vsaj del trase popolna novost.

Opis trase:

Štart bo v Prvačini, konkretno pred domom Krajevne skupnosti v samem centru. To je manjši kraj na Primorskem, v lepi Vipavski dolini, kjer češnje že na polno cvetijo.

Štartamo v smeri Nove Gorice in kmalu vstopimo v Italijo. Večinoma ravninska trasa nas kmalu pripelje v čarobno starodavno mesto Čedad, kjer bo na ikoničnem kamnitiem mostu čez reko Nadižo, ki se mu reče tudi ”Hudičev most”, prva kontrolna točka. Tu se nam ponuja čudovit razgled na rečno sotesko.

Nadaljujemo proti severu do mesteca Venzone, kjer so v kapeli ob stolnici mumije, ki so ena največjih posebnosti mesta – naravno ohranjena trupla iz srednjega veka. Kmalu za tem pridemo na pravo kolesarsko pot, po kateri bomo kasneje še kar dolgo vozili in uživali v izjemnih pogledih. V kraju Chiusaforte, kjer je v opuščeni nekdanji železniški postaji zdaj lokal in kjer je naša druga kontrolna točka.

Kar še nekaj časa nadaljujemo severno, ves čas se rahlo vzpenjamo, za tem pa se obrnemo proti vzhodu in v Trbižu zavijemo desno v smeri Rabeljskega jezera Vzpon se tu podaljša do prelaza Predel, kjer je najvišja točka tega breveta in tretja kontrolna točka.

Sledi dolg in zaslužen spust, najprej mimo odcepa za Mangartsko sedlo, potem pa do Bovca, kjer zavijemo levo in gremo skozi Čezsočo po levem bregu Soče in tudi v tem delu uživamo v prečudoviti naravi. Ko se priklopimo glavni cesti, gremo po njej do Kobarida, kjer je kamnit Napoleonov most čez reko Sočo četrta kontrolna točka.

Do Tolmina gremo po neprometni cesti po levem bregu Soče, tam pa se priključimo kolesarski stezi, ki nas tik ob Soči pripelje do Mosta na Soči. Izjemna narava, … Sledi krajši vzpon in nekaj kasneje vožnja po glavni cesti (upamo, da ne bo preveč prometna!), ki pa jo pred Ročinjem zapustimo in preko še enega kamnitega mosta čez reko Sočo pridemo v kraj Avče in po lepem spustu še v Kanal ob Soči. Tu ponovno prečkamo Sočo, nadaljujemo po neprometni cesti in kmalu pridemo do kolesarske povezave, ki nas pripelje v Novo Gorico. Tam, na kolesarskem mostu je še peta kontrolna točka.

Od tu nas do cilja čaka še skoraj 50 km po Vipavski dolini, ki se nam bodo vlekli v nedogled, a nekako je treba priti preko 300 km.

V cilju pa seveda rečemo tisto znamenito: ”To pa je bila čista uživancija!”.

Po prihodu v cilj sledi večerja in druženje v lokalu Sokol, ki je na lokaciji štarta in cilja.

Primorska Weekend includes 200, 300 and 400 km brevets on May 16, and a 200 km brevet on May 17, 2026.

AA 300

The AA 300 route is being organized for the first time this year, and it is so beautiful and easy-going that it shouldn’t be missed. A significant part of the route follows the Alpe Adria cycle path, which connects Salzburg (Austria) and Grado (Italy) and is 430 km long in total. As always, we stick to the principle of choosing roads and places that are not ridden very often, so for most participants, most or at least part of the route will be completely new.

Route description:

The start will be in Prvačina, specifically in front of the local community center in the very center of the village. It is a small place in the Primorska region, in the beautiful Vipava Valley, where cherry trees are in full bloom.

We start in the direction of Nova Gorica and soon cross into Italy. The mostly flat route quickly brings us to the charming ancient town of Cividale del Friuli, where the first control point will be on the iconic stone bridge over the Natisone River, also known as the “Devil’s Bridge.” From here, there is a beautiful view of the river gorge.

We continue north to the town of Venzone, where in the chapel next to the cathedral you can see mummies—one of the town’s greatest curiosities—naturally preserved bodies from the Middle Ages. Shortly after, we reach a proper cycling path, which we will follow for quite some time while enjoying spectacular views. In the village of Chiusaforte, at a former railway station now turned into a bar, we find the second control point.

We continue north for a while, gradually climbing, then turn east. In Tarvisio we turn right towards Lake Predil. The climb continues up to the Predil Pass, which is the highest point of this brevet and the third control point.

A long and well-deserved descent follows, first past the turn-off for the Mangart Saddle, and then down to Bovec, where we turn left and continue through Čezsoča along the left bank of the Soča River, enjoying stunning natural scenery. When we rejoin the main road, we follow it to Kobarid, where the stone Napoleon Bridge over the Soča River marks the fourth control point.

We continue to Tolmin along a quiet road on the left bank of the Soča, then join a cycling path that runs right beside the river all the way to Most na Soči—an area of outstanding natural beauty. A short climb follows, and later a stretch on the main road (hopefully not too busy!), which we leave before Ročinj. Crossing another stone bridge over the Soča, we reach Avče and then descend pleasantly to Kanal ob Soči. Here we cross the river again, continue along a quiet road, and soon join a cycling route leading to Nova Gorica, where the fifth control point is located on the cycling bridge.

From there, nearly 50 km through the Vipava Valley remain until the finish—stretching on endlessly, but somehow necessary to reach the 300 km mark.

At the finish, of course, we say the famous line:“That was pure enjoyment!”

After arriving at the finish, dinner and socializing will follow at the Sokol restaurant, which is located at the start and finish area.
