Vikend na Primorskem obsega 200, 300 in 400 km brevete, ki bodo 13. junija in 200 km, ki  bo 14. junija 2026.

AA 400

Trasa AA 400 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, en krak pa poteka tudi po Sloveniji.

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.

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 kamnitem 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 (tu se desno odcepi trasa za AA 300 km brevet) nadaljujemo proti Kranjski Gori (kjer je tretja kontrolna točka) in vse do Jesenic bomo vozili po lepi kolesarski poti. Še pred Jesenicami gremo tudi skozi Mojstrano, kjer je Planinski muzej Slovenije.

Od tu naprej gremo nekaj kilometrov po glavni cesti, a kmalu (pri Žirovnici) zavijemo na stransko in skoraj neprometno cest, ki nas vodi skozi manjše kraje pod Julijskimi Alpami.

Iz Kranja pridemo v zelo lepo Škofjo Loko, kjer je na kamnitem mostu čez reko Selška Sora, četrta kontrolna točka, od tu pa nadaljujemo v smeri Ljubljane, ki pa se ji večinoma izognemo.

Kmalu za Logatcem, kjer je peta kontrolna točka, zavijemo desno in se skozi Idrijo spustimo vse do Mosta na Soči, kjer nas na mostu čez reko Sočo čaka šesta kontrolna točka in izjeme pogled na jezero.

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.

Od tu nas do cilja nas čaka le še malo nezahtevnih kilometrov, ki pa se nam bodo vlekli v nedogled.

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 June 13, and a 200 km brevet on June 14, 2026.

AA 400

The AA 400 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. One branch also runs through Slovenia.

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 (here, the route for the 300 km AA brevet branches off to the right); we continue toward Kranjska Gora (where the third checkpoint is located) and will ride along a beautiful bike path all the way to Jesenice. Before reaching Jesenice, we also pass through Mojstrana, home to the Slovenian Alpine Museum.

From here, we follow the main road for a few kilometers, but soon (near Žirovnica) we turn onto a side road with almost no traffic, which takes us through small villages at the foot of the Julian Alps.

From Kranj, we arrive in the beautiful town of Škofja Loka, where the fourth checkpoint is located on the stone bridge over the Selška Sora River; from there, we continue toward Ljubljana, though we mostly bypass the city.

Shortly after Logatec, where the fifth checkpoint is located, we turn right and head through Idrija all the way down to Most na Soči, where the sixth checkpoint awaits us on the bridge over the Soča River, along with a breathtaking view of the lake.

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.

From here, only a few easy kilometers remain before we reach our destination, but they’ll seem to drag on forever. 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.

Checkpoints:

• Start: Prvačina, dom Krajevne skupnosti, Prvačina 48
• 1. CP: 41,9 km: Čedad, Devil’s bridge
• 2. CP: 109,6 km: Chiusaforte, restaurant
• 3. KT: 160,6 km: Kranjska Gora, Trg osamosvojitve
