Short climb towards the border with Austria. It is not particularly steep and certainly not long. It can therefore easily be done together with the Vrsic pass, which starts in nearby Kransjka Gora. ... read more

Kort klimmetje richting de grens met Oostenrijk. Is niet bijzonder stijl en al helemaal niet lang. Het kan daarom gemakkelijk samen met de Vrsic pass gedaan worden, die in het nabij gelegen Kransjka Gora start.

From Podkoren, this climb is one of two mountain passes to Austria. It used to be crowded and dangerous. The road on the Slovenian ( Yugoslavian) side is narrower than from Austria. It is less steep and more steady than the other side. Since there is a tunnel a little further on and cigarettes are not so cheap anymore it is quieter. You can pedal on the good tarmac. It starts out quite tough but for an average climber it should not be a problem. After the wide hairpin bend, there is a viewpoint. Stop and take a photo as you can see the whole valley. You are looking at the Kransja Gora slope where it goes very fast during the FIS descent. The road goes on fairly straight and the view disappears through the forest. A few blind bends keep you on your toes, because a motorcyclist sometimes wants to come through the inside bend!
Almost at the top, the road opens, very wide and boring. No view of what lies below you and if you go back you can ride into the valley. If you cross the border, a tough descent awaits you, is not harmless for inexperienced descenders and too much braking can lead to problems. For the car's there are not for nothing run-off lanes in the curves!
There are more beautiful climbs in the area (Vrsic, Mangart) but also this one is nice to take.

Vanuit Podkoren is deze klim een van de twee bergpassen richting Oostenrijk. Vroeger er druk en gevaarlijk. De weg aan de Sloveense ( Joegoslavische) kant is smaller dan vanuit Oostenrijk. Wel minder steil en gelijkmatiger dan de andere zijde. Sinds er een tunnel is iets verderop en de sigaretten niet meer zo goedkoop zijn is het rustiger. Je kunt lekker doortrappen over het goede asfalt. Het begint redelijk pittig maar voor een gemiddelde klimmer mag het geen probleem zijn. Na de ruime haarspeldbocht is een uitzichtpunt. Even stoppen en maak een foto want je overziet het hele dal. Je kijkt op de piste van Kransja Gora waar het er erg snel aan toe gaat tijdens de FIS afdaling. De weg gaat redelijk rechtdoor verder en het zicht verdwijnt door de bebossing. Een paar onoverzichtelijke bochten houden je scherp want een motorrijder wil wel eens door de binnenbocht doorkomen!
Bijna boven opent de weg, erg breed en saai. Geen uitzicht over wat er beneden je ligt en als je teruggaat kun je het dal tegemoet rijden. Ga je de grens over dan wacht je een pittige afdaling, is niet ongevaarlijk voor ongeoefende afdalers en teveel remmen kan tot problemen leiden. Voor de auto's zijn er niet voor niets uitloopstroken in de bochten!
Er zijn mooiere beklimmingen in de buurt ( Vrsic, Mangart) maar ook deze is leuk om mee te nemen.
