CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
curated scenic road. Julian Alps, exposed hairpins, panoramas. From Bovec it runs 29 km to Tarvisio; allow about 36 min of riding. The highest point is about 2,050 m. Passo del Predil and Mangart Saddle are open in summer only - check it is open before you set off. The line favours views over speed.
Expect company on a summer weekend. Early is better than fast. For 10 km this is Slovenia Vrsic Pass Road, a road with a name of its own and a reason for it.
Check the pass is open before you commit to it.
Bovec sits at the head of the Soča valley, in a wide bowl of green meadows ringed by limestone walls that look as if they were stacked there deliberately. Kanin rises to the south, the high Julian Alps close in to the east, and the river that gave the valley its name runs cold and unbelievably turquoise just down the road. It is a small town of around sixteen hundred people, but in summer its population of kayakers, rafters, paragliders and riders makes it feel much larger.

May refer to an earlier itinerary; verify against your selected route before riding.
