V plazeh Mountain pasture

This cycling tour starts at the Prijon sport center in the village of Čezsoča. Turn left at the parking lot and continue to the bridge. Before you reach the bridge across the Soča River you will be able to notice numerous signs on the right directing you onto the gravel trail towards the village of Trenta, which is also known as the Soča Trail. Keep cycling along the left bank of the river, at first next to the river and then along the paved ascent, until you reach the end of the settlement. Cross the small bridge across the stream and you will already reach the somewhat poor up-and-down gravel section of the trail through the forest. Cross the bridge across the Soča River and continue shortly along the main road until you reach the bunkers. Cross the footbridge back to the left bank of the Soča River and continue along the gravel trail. From the Great Soča Gorge onwards you will have to overcome a short steep ascent past the village of Mišja vas. When you reach the plateau continue along a somewhat more level terrain and shortly thereafter descend towards the village of Soča. Cycle along the gravel trail past the remnants of World War I fortifications. After overcoming a gentle ascent you will reach the end of the gravel trail where you will first have to turn onto the paved road and then uphill to the right towards the village of Na skali. Keep ascending until you reach the end of the paved road and continue along the gravel road past the ramp. You will soon be faced with the last part of the ascent where the gravel road becomes worse and occasionally steeper. Ascend along the nicely routed mule trails to the abandoned V plazeh Mountain pasture where you will be able to notice the building of the Triglav National Park in the background which you can only reach along the footpath. You can continue along the road a little bit further from the mountain pasture until you reach a clearing. Here you can decide to ascend to the sightseeing Mt. Čisti vrh or to take a rest and return along the same way you came from to the village of Čezsoča. On your return you can refresh yourself in the Soča River.
