A rock-hard , but beautiful, sloper. The whole border region with Italy is phenomenally beautiful and peaceful. Ridden in very hot weather, which was draining. Seen maybe two cars the whole climb, very quiet. My two water bottles were empty in no time. A compact crankset with a 25 behind was struggling on some steep sections. Tip is that about halfway up there is a sort of waterfall from a wall to the right of the road (in a sort of well) where you can refill water.... read more

Een keiharde , maar prachtige, sloper. De hele grensstreek met Italië is fenomenaal mooi en rustig. Gereden met erg warm weer, en dat was afzien. De hele klim misschien twee auto’s gezien, heel erg rustig. Mijn twee bidonnen waren binnen no time leeg. Een compact crankstel met een 25 achter was op sommige steile stukken worstelen. Tip is dat er ongeveer halverwege een soort watervalletje uit een muur rechts van de weg is (in een soort put) waar je water kunt bijtappen.

We did the climb from Tolmin based on the reviews here. Unfortunately, I have to say. The climb is actually not very fascinating. About 3 times a nice view, otherwise not fascinating. The descent to Idrsko, on the other hand, was beautiful. Lots of views and variety in scenery.

If you want to go for a good time, take this side (because the abandonment means you don't look around anyway) and do the descent slowly and enjoy. If you just want to enjoy yourself during the climb, definitely do the other side.

We hebben de klim gedaan vanuit Tolmin op basis van de reviews hier. Helaas, moet ik zeggen. De klim is eigenlijk weinig boeiend. Een keer of 3 een mooi uitzicht, verder niet boeiend. De afdaling naar Idrsko daarentegen was prachtig. Veel vergezichten en afwisseling in omgeving.

Als je voor een goede tijd wil gaan, pak dan deze kant (want door het afzien kijk je toch niet om je heen) en doe de afdaling langzaam en geniet. Wil je gewoon genieten tijdens de klim, doe dan zeker de andere kant.

Long, steep climb. Very nice, excellent tarmac and very, very quiet. Descend in the direction of Idrsko, via Kobarid across the Soca and then back to Tolmin and you make a nice round of it!

At the top there is a small open air museum. This region has had a long and fierce frontline in ww1 and here you can see some bunkers etc.

Lange, steile klim. Heel mooi, uitstekend asfalt en heel, heel rustig. Afdalen richting Idrsko, via Kobarid de Soca over en dan weer terug naar Tolmin en je maakt er een mooie ronde van!

Bovenop is er een klein openluchtmuseum. Deze regio heeft een lange en heftige frontlinie gehad in ww1 en hier kun je wat bunkers ed bekijken.
