Na Mangart

300 km brevet, ki je bil lani prvič v koledarju, letos pa sigurno ni zadnjič Čaka vas lepih razgledov in dogodivščin, da jih boste imeli za izvoz. Enako kot slik, če si le boste vzeli čas za občudovanje narave. Ustavili se bomo v Planici, svetovni zibelki smučarskih poletov, kjer bomo lahko v živo občudovali točko na velikanki, ki je na mestu, kjer je Domen Prevc (SI) postavil svetovni rekord, vožnja po kolesarski poti Alpe Adria, glavna pozornost pa bo mitski vzpon do Mangartskega sedla na 2055 m nad morjem.

Opis trase:

Štart bo v Škofji Loki pred športno dvorano Poden.

Do Kranja in še malo naprej nas čaka ravnina oziroma zelo rahlo vzpenjaje. Ko bomo prav v osrčju Zgornjesavske doline, bodo na naši desni strani Karavanke, pred nami pa Julijske Alpe. Tu nas čakajo prvi fascinantni razgledi, ki se kar ne nehajo. Do Žirovnice gremo po stranski in neprometni cesti, od tam pa do Jesenic pa nas čaka 5,5 km glavne ceste. Na Jesenicah zavijemo leto na kolesarsko povezavo, ki se kmalu prevesi v kolesarsko pot. Kakih 10 km pred prvo kontrolno točko gremo skoz Kranjsko Goro, ki je največje smučarsko središče v Sloveniji, od koder je izhodišče za prelaz Vršič na jugu ali prelaz Korensko sedlo na severu. Malo naprej zavijemo levo in po blagem vzponu pridemo v magično Planico, dolino pod Poncami, kjer je sodoben objekt s smučarskimi skakalnicami vseh velikosti, a le ena je velikanka. Tam je vsako leto zaključek svetovnega pokala v smučarskih skokih in poletih. Prva kontrolna točka je na mestu, kjer je videti obeležje, postavljeno v čast Domnu Prevcu, ki je 30. marca 2025 tam postavil svetovni rekord. Obeležje je točno na točki, kjer je pristal.

Do naslednje kontrolne točke nas čaka manj kot 40 km. Malo, a hkrati zelo veliko. Najprej se spustimo do kolesarske poti in po njej po blagem spustu pridemo v Trbiž, ki je prav tako znano smučarsko središče. Vendar še preden pridemo v center mesta, zavijemo levo. Od tu dalje se cesta vzpenja. Najprej čisto malo, tik pred Rabeljskim jezerom prvič malo bolj, za njim pa še kakih 2,5 km do vrha prelaza Predel na 1156 m nad morjem. Sledi (pre)kratek spust in kmalu zavijemo leto. Od tu nas čaka še 11 km vzpona vse do vrha Mangartskega sedla na 2055 m pred morjem, kjer je druga kontrolna točka. Tam si vzemite čas, občudujte čudovito naravo in bodite ponosni na prevožen vzpon.

Vendar pa smo šele na 120,5 km. Spust po isti cesti in naprej vse do Bovca, kjer na obvoznici zavijemo levo in gremo skozi Čezsočo po levem bregu Soče. Tudi ta del, ki poteka tik ob Soči in senčni cesti je fascinanten. Malo pred Žago gremo čez most čez Sočo in nadaljujemo poglavni cesti do Kobarida, kjer ponovno prečimo Sočo, tokrat prek kamnitega Napoleonovega mosta. Nadaljujemo v smeri Tolmina, kjer gremo na kolesarsko pot, ki nas v hladu Soče in jezera pripelje do tretje kontrolne točke na Mostu na Soči.

Tu zavijemo levo v smeri Ljubljane, vendar imamo do tam še kar nekaj vožnje po dolini reke Idrijce, ki se ves čas malo vzpenja, bolj izrazito pa za Idrijo do Godoviča. Za tem nas čaka pretežno spust do Logatca, kjer je na bencinski črpalki Petrol četrta kontrolna točka.

Do cilja nas čaka še 52 km ravnine in nekaj spusta. Ljubljano, glavno mesto Republike Slovenije, prevozimo po njenem zahodnem delu, nadaljujemo v smeri Medvod, od koder je le še za drobiž km do cilja, ki ga vsi nestrpno čakamo.

To Mangart

This 300 km brevet was included in the calendar for the first time last year, and it certainly will not be the last time. Beautiful views and adventures await you in such abundance that you will have plenty to talk about afterwards. The same goes for photographs, provided you take the time to admire the scenery. We will stop in Planica, the world cradle of ski flying, where we will be able to see in person the exact landing point on the ski flying hill where Domen Prevc (SI) set the world record. We will ride along part of the Alpe Adria Cycle Path, while the main highlight will be the legendary climb to Mangart Saddle at 2,055 metres above sea level.

Route description:

The start will be in Škofja Loka in front of the Poden Sports Hall.

The route to Kranj and a little beyond is flat or only very slightly uphill. Once we reach the heart of the Upper Sava Valley, the Karawanks will be on our right and the Julian Alps ahead of us. Here, the first breathtaking views begin and seem never to end. We ride to Žirovnica on quiet secondary roads, and from there to Jesenice we have 5.5 km on the main road.

In Jesenice we turn onto a cycling connection that soon becomes a dedicated cycle path. About 10 km before the first control point we pass through Kranjska Gora, the largest ski resort in Slovenia and the starting point for the Vršič Pass to the south and the Korensko Sedlo Pass to the north.

A little further on we turn left and, after a gentle climb, arrive in magical Planica, the valley beneath the Ponce mountain range. Here stands a modern ski-jumping complex with hills of all sizes, although only one is a ski-flying hill. Every year, the FIS Ski Jumping and Ski Flying World Cup season concludes here.

The first control point is located at the site where a memorial marks the landing point of Domen Prevc, who set the world record there on 30 March 2025. The memorial stands exactly where he landed.

Less than 40 km separate us from the next control point. A short distance, yet at the same time a very long one. First, we descend to the cycle path and follow it downhill into Tarvisio, another well-known ski resort. However, before reaching the town centre, we turn left.

From here onwards the road climbs. At first only gently, then a little more steeply just before Lake Predil, and after the lake there are another 2.5 km to the summit of Predil Pass at 1,156 metres above sea level.

A very short descent follows and soon we turn left again. From there, an 11 km climb awaits us all the way to the top of Mangart Saddle at 2,055 metres above sea level, where the second control point is located. Take your time there, admire the magnificent scenery and be proud of the climb you have completed.

However, we are only at kilometre 120.5.

We descend along the same road and continue all the way to Bovec, where we turn left at the bypass road and ride through Čezsoča along the left bank of the Soča River. This section, following the river on a shaded road, is equally fascinating.

Shortly before Žaga, we cross the Soča River and continue on the main road to Kobarid, where we cross the river again, this time via the stone Napoleon Bridge.

We continue towards Tolmin and join a cycle path that takes us, in the cool surroundings of the Soča River and the lake, to the third control point in Most na Soči.

Here we turn left towards Ljubljana, although there is still quite a bit of riding ahead through the Idrijca River Valley, which climbs gently throughout, becoming more pronounced after Idrija towards Godovič.

After that, a mostly downhill ride takes us to Logatec, where the fourth control point is located at the Petrol service station.

The final 52 km to the finish are mostly flat with some descending. We pass through the western part of Ljubljana, the capital of the Republic of Slovenia, continue towards Medvode, and from there only a few kilometres remain before reaching the finish that we are all eagerly awaiting.

There will be no support or refreshments provided before or after the brevet.
