A nice ride
in the vicinity of the magnificent
Predjama castle
It has never happened to me before that a tour would be
just right on the first ride. When I prepare a tour and
look at the maps, I always take into account that the real
situation will be quite different form the
one in the maps. Usually a tour is done perfectly only
after a few test rides. But at this time, everything was
perfect already on the first ride.
Starting point
Zaga Belsko (zaga = a sawmil) is situated at the road
crossing, 6 km north of Postojna in direction of the
village of Studeno.
Trail description
The terrain is very interesting. It changes all the
time, form a muddy cart track at the beginning to rocky
macadam and grassy singletrack at the end. The trail is a
typical cross country ride, very much up and down all the
time. There are also some magnificent views, from the top
of Sv. Lovrenc you can see almost the whole landscape of
Notranjska. The trail passes the exceptional Predjama
castle, which is build right on a cliff, at the entrance
to a system of Postojna caves. This is something you have
to see!
Other possibilities
Landscape in this part of Notranjska region is very
suitable for MTB. There are numerous single and cart
tracks and macadam roads, which offer endless
possibilities for riding. I suggest that you take a look
at the trail map posted at the entrance to the village of
Studeno (in direction from Postojna).
