In 2017, I cycled up from Idrsko and then descended to Savogna. I underestimated the climb then. Right after the first few turns it went steep up (10％) and I almost stopped. The descent to Savogna and the climb back were beautiful.... read more

Done as a descent and really enjoyed the road surface and views. Normally I don't post reviews of descents, but the rating here on the site is mi really too low. So I'm making an exception to leave a 5-star review.

Als afdaling gedaan en echt genoten van het wegdek en de vergezichten. Normaliter plaats ik geen reviews van afdalingen, maar de waardering hier op de site is mi echt te laag. Dus ik maak een uitzondering om een 5 sterren review achter te laten.

What a calf biter! The giro has passed here this year so 3/4 of the asphalt is new and top👌🏻. Also a lot of pink decorations along the side of the road referring to the Giro.
From the village, it starts right after the first bend, until Livek there is little peace to be found and the 10％+ fly around your ears. In Livek it finally flattens out a bit, but not for long. As soon as you leave the village, the road rises steeply again. The sign with 2km, 12％ says it all ;).

In between, you have nice views, but at the top you are between the trees and unfortunately you don't see much. The descent to Tolmin, on the other hand, is a joy. Nice tarmac (watch out for loose stones), and occasionally a nice viewpoint over the valley.

Highly recommended! But don't start if you can't get up the Keutenberg or the Cauberg.

Wat een kuitenbijter! De giro is hier dit jaar langsgeweest dus 3/4 van het asfalt is nieuw en top👌🏻. Ook nog veel roze versieringen langs de kant van de weg die verwijzen naar de Giro.
Vanuit het dorpje gaat het direct na de eerste bocht aan, tot en met Livek is er weinig rust te vinden en vliegen de 10％+ je om de oren. In livek gaat het eindelijk wat vlakker, maar niet voor lang. Zodra je het dorp links uitrijdt gaat het weer stijl omhoog. Het bordje met 2km, 12％ zegt genoeg ;).

Tussendoor heb je mooie uitzichten, op de top zit je tussen de bomen en zie je helaas niet veel. De afdaling naar Tolmin daarentegen is genieten. Mooi asfalt (wel uitkijken voor losliggende stenen), en af en toe een mooi uitzichtpunt over de vallei.

Echt een aanrader! Maar begin er niet aan als je de keutenberg of cauberg al niet op komt.

In 2017 ben ik vanuit Idrsko omhoog gefietst en vervolgens afgedaald naar Savogna.
Ik heb de klim toen onderschat. Meteen na de eerste bochten ging het steil omhoog (10％) en stond ik bijna stil
De afdaling aar Savogna en de klim terug waren mooi.

I did this one as a descent. Around Livek the road had been broken up in September 2021, but the rest was already very good tarmac. Many curves, very quiet.

Ik heb deze als afdaling gedaan. Rondom Livek was de weg in september 2021 opengebroken, maar de rest was al zeer goed asfalt. Veel bochten, heel rustig.
