Tolmino Planina Razor Planina Spodnji kal Planina plode

Route with ascent on asphalt and dirt road of medium gradient increasing towards the highest elevation, the Planina Razor hut, traverse up and down and trails of varying difficulty on descent, with the treat of the cable car for hikers and bikes.

Start from Zatolmin a few steps from Tolmino, which you cross and climb towards the center of the village on the main road, pointing in the direction of the Reka stream, at the T-junction turn right and after 500m turn left on a much less busy ascent, only a few tourists looking for mushrooms and pastures. You pass 2 villages and after Ljubinj you follow the somewhat steeper ascent to the left, which with a number of hairpin bends in the forest on asphalt, with medium gradient but few breaths, leads to a valley where, on up and down dirt road, you meet the (deserted) settlement of Planina Lom, which you cross straight on and between dirt ups and downs and steep concrete ramps you continue to an alpine hut just beyond.

It continues with alternating uphill and up and down sections with the same bottom to the Planina Razor hut, after about 21km. Here it is not easy to find the trail, which bends to the left from the hut and passes it to higher elevation in the grass. Necessary to push the bike a little for a few minutes on the meadows to find the track ahead and get back in the saddle, for an up and down path over grass and stones, then forest, with easy but physically demanding bottom.

Continue along the trail to Planina Spodnji Kal where the first single track descent begins (avoiding the brve trail search in the gpx track) with a short ascent to Na Reslju pass at m.1,133.

Second more technical S2 descent to Gornji Konec. Despite fatigue you climb back up to Planina Prode with 100m ascent and an exciting technical descent. At Planina Prode you descend to the Tolminka stream and cross it on karrukola (spectacular hiker/biker cable car). You then return on 6 km of fast cart track to Zatolmin.
