Safety information

The descent from the Wurzenpass to Arnoldstein is very steep.
Up to 18% and very long. Here you really pick up speed!

Tips and suggestions

There are several places to stop for food and drinks. At the upper end of the Planica valley is the cozy mountain hut Tamar.

The detour after the Planica ski jump facility to the mountain hut Tamar is a mountain bike ride on very loose ground.
Otherwise, the route runs on nicely developed and marked cycle paths, except for the ride over the Wurzenpass.

Roadbook

This route starts at the beach bath in Faak am See and goes up to Arnoldstein. After crossing the border in Tarvis, you follow the Alpe-Adria-Path until just before Tarvis. At this junction, you turn left and then enter Slovenia.
After the detour to the ski jumps and the mountain hut Tamar, you cycle via Podgoren (Kranjska Gora) and the Wurzenpass back to Faak am See.
