Sedlic Grenz-Trail
Description
From the town center of Kranjska Gora, the first stage is a gravel road to the neighbouring village of Podkoren. Here you turn off onto the road up to the Wurzenpass and follow it for around 150 meters before turning right onto a gravel road. Follow this road uphill for a while, pass Jurezeva planina and finally reach the steep ascent to the Sedlic Pass. The last section up to the saddle requires the bike to be pushed.
From the saddle below the Trupejevo Poldne summit, the trail descent begins, first through meadows and then along the border ridge between Austria and Slovenia. The downhill sections are all rideable, the short ascents have to be tackled on foot. Overall, there are great views across to the rugged rocks of the Triglav National Park on this section.
After Črni vrh (Schwarzkogel), there are even better views. The trail is now a combination of flowing and steep, technical sections. It is very narrow at times. The section along the border ridge is followed by the descent on the Jepca Trail. This is very steep and technical with lots of hairpin bends. Most of the hairpin bends are rollable, but often the rear wheel has to be offset.
Finally, you reach the valley floor and follow the road down to Belca. This is slippery in places, but the passages can be easily negotiated on foot. In this way, you reach the village of Belca and cycle back to Kranjska Gora on the asphalt cycle path.

From the Schwarzkogel to the Jepsa Trail you can't really speak of riding, the path is 10 cm wide in places, when cranking you often catch the turf on the uphill side, mountain pines on the uphill side prevent an upright ride. Many places are really dangerous. We felt like we had to get out of the saddle 100 times, although the trail itself is not particularly difficult. We were riding with Light Emtbs, which is a good choice for this route as you can ride a lot of uphill trails. However, we were quite surprised at the Jepsa saddle, where we had to shoulder the bikes up 70 m of extremely steep and slippery terrain. You can avoid all this if you take the trail on the left between Jaskovez and Schwarzkogel and then cross over to the Jepsa Trail or ride straight down.
