Monte Plagne
Description
Start at the fork in the road below the small village of Prato (Rávanca). Now it's a relaxed ride on asphalt deeper and deeper into the Val Resia. At Stolvizza, you pass the last settlement and, after a short downhill on asphalt, pedal a little steeper to Coritis. From here, the route climbs steadily in the same manner before you are forced to descend at Malga Coot. From this point, it is only advisable to push or carry. As Val Resia was heavily fortified during the First World War and lies directly on the Italian/Slovenian border, there are countless historic paths here, one of which is this uphill. A zig-zag alpine path takes you to Monte Guarda Skutnik and then along the border ridge until you reach Monte Plagne (Vrh Planje, 1663 meters above sea level) after a small counter-climb. The view here is breathtaking. Especially in late fall, when the air is dry and cool, you can see as far as the Mediterranean. To the north, Kanin completes the panoramic view.
An absolute highlight is the trail descent. On S2, occasionally S3, it goes down to Uccea. There are a few places where you have to push, as the path is a little broken in places. However, this does not affect the overall riding enjoyment. From Uccea, you then pedal along a military road from the Second World War in the Vallo Alpino up to the small village of Carnizza (Stavoli Gnivizza). Always along the Rio Uccea, the world here seems somewhat enchanted. Past Stavoli Gnivizza, the route leads past Sella Carnizza on a trail cutter back into Val Resia, before taking the last climb towards Localitá Gost and from here also taking a historic route back to the starting point. All in all, a challenging but very varied and historic tour, which is particularly impressive due to its historical background and countless lost places.Map & GPX-Track

Not suitable for e-mountain bikes, I have to qualify that we were only unable to ride the last 50 - 100 meters of the uphill, as there are no carrying points. The bigger problem was the downhill in the upper section, which was difficult due to the high grasses and had to be pushed in places. Spring or fall would certainly be better here.
