An easy/semi-demanding circular biking trail that leads across the western part of the
Bovec Basin.
The tour starts in the centre of
Bovec and continues via the main road toward the hamlet of
Plužna.
In the centre of the hamlet, by the fountain, turn right and cycle to the artificial lake made for the
Plužna hydroelectric power plant.
The tour continues along the lake and further following a concrete channel up to the first post, where a left turn must be made.
Next is a short but rather demanding descent to a bridge over the
Gljun Stream.
Some 100 m after crossing the bridge is a junction; turn right here and continue across the bridge over
Ročica and past the golf course to the main
Bovec -
Žaga road.
Here, turn right again and follow the main road up to the branch-off for
Čezsoča.
The main road is left here to cross a bridge over the
Soča River.
On the other side of the bridge, turn left to a macadam road and follow it to the village of
Čezsoča. The tour continues via an asphalt road straight through the village to the intersection for the hamlet of
Jablenca, a bit before ‘
Gostilna Vančar’ (i.e. the
Vančar guest-house).
At the intersection, continue straight, and after
3 km of asphalt road the hamlet of
Jablenca is reached.
Soon after the hamlet, a footpath branches off left to a wooden bridge over the
Soča River.
After crossing the bridge, the tour leads left and continues to a wooden bridge over the
Koritnica River.
After crossing that bridge, an asphalt road toward
Bovec is reached at the
Toni campsite.
The part of the tour from the hamlet of
Jablenca to the
Toni campsite is rather exposed, so some caution is required.
From the campsite, an asphalt road leads to a short but steep uphill section, at the top of which you turn right and cycle via a cart track to the
Bovec bypass at the
“Devica Marija v Polju” church (Eng.:
Church of Virgin Mary in the Field).
The tour continues past the tennis courts back to the starting point.
During this tour, other natural wonders may be visited, namely the magnificent
Boka Waterfall (on the main
Bovec -
Žaga road, before the branch-off for
Čezsoča) as well as the
Virje Waterfall and the spring of the
Gljun Stream (both near the artificial lake in
Plužna).
