Der Bergklassiker Nordsloweniens.

Die einstige Militärstraße zwischen Kranjska Gora und Trenta aus dem 1. Weltkrieg gilt als höchste Passtraße Sloweniens und führt auf eine Höhe von 1611m. Befahren wird der Pass von der Nord- oder Südseite, wobei die südliche Anfahrt mit fast 1000 Höhenmetern die herausfordernde ist. Die Nordseite des Passes zeichnet sich vor allem durch die gepflasterten Kehren aus.
