Slovenia for cycling;
Thanks, Jobst. Enjoyed your account of your Alpine 2004 tour. what a ride!
I've done all the big passes on the Pyrenees chain but not the other French ones you did. In a coach recently I crossed the Wuerzenpass with its 18% grades. It looked impossible.

I hope you appreciated Marshall Tito's summer residence in the little chalet on the north east part of the lake. All pf Slovenia is a great scene, it being on the eastern end of the Alps, known as the Karavankas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karawanken I have bicycled there for many years on my trans-alpine rides from France through Switzerland, Italy from which the Dolomites connect to the Karavankas. The geology being more to the stone of the Dolomites (white), lakes and streams of pure white rocks make the shoreline indistinct as the rocky bed goes from white, through light green to dark blue in a continuum. The edge of the water is hard to discern. One of these lakes at the Italian border, in Barcis was abeautifully picturesque scene but ENEL the national power administation saw fit to dam the outflow that went through a fantastic narrow and deep gorge with a road at the bottom, so all that is lost. By all means, don't miss that region if you have the opportunity. http://www.trentobike.org/Countries/...the_Alps/2004/ There IS more. and it might compel you to do it! Jobst Brandt |

Rob I was there last summer, staying at Bohini in the inner Triglav National Park. What a beautiful, and peaceful, place where to ride bike! Sergio Pisa |
