A semi/very demanding but attractive tour from
Bovec, via the
Koritnica Valley to the
Predel Pass.
This tour starts in
Bovec and continues via the main road to the intersection for
Predel and
Trenta.
At the intersection, turn left for
Predel, then continue past the
Kluže Fortress and descend to the
Koritnica River.
Further along is the first pronounced ascent before reaching the village of
Log pod Mangrtom.
Soon after the village, another long and very steep ascent begins.
Climbing this ascent, you rise high above the
Koritnica Valley and later above the
Predelica, pass the village of
Strmec, and finally reach the
Predel Pass (
1156 m).
On the way through the village of
Log pod Mangrtom, one can pause at “
Štoln” (a miners’ tunnel), while a bit before the
Predel Pass, the fortress and monument (a sculpture of a wounded lion in memory of the brave Austrian soldiers who defended the territory against Napoleonic troops in 1809) are a worthwhile stop.
