Skabrijel (Nova Gorica)

Nova Gorica has a strong mountain bike scene, which is realized in trail building. And they can build trails! The tour includes some of the numerous trail options in the region of the local mountain Skabrijel.

Description

The meeting point for local mountain bikers is at the Zogica parking lot at the northern end of Nova Gorica. It is also the starting point for this tour, which initially follows the main road up to the Prevalo crossing. Keep right at the traffic circle and follow the road further up until the gravel road soon branches off to the right, which leads up to the Skabrijel summit with its viewing tower.

The summit is the starting point of the Skabrijel MTB Trail, a varied and fun single trail that has been conjured up by hand in the forest by local mountain bikers. It leads down to the first houses of Nova Gorica, where the ascent back to the Prevalo crossing awaits. The route rides along an asphalt road with little traffic, passes Ravnica and finally (due to a lack of trail alternatives) rolls down the road to the traffic circle, which you already know from the ascent. This is where the second part of the tour begins.

A steep asphalt road leads up to the Sveta Gora monastery, where the entrance to the downhill trails is well marked a little below. The downhill is another first-class fun ride, although there are also large jumps in this sector - all of which can be easily bypassed or rolled over. But the pace is a little rougher than on the Skabrijel trail. After you have passed the Prevalo crossing again, you come to the brilliant final bouquet with extremely original lines. The trail builders have done a great job here. The trail ends on the main road very close to the starting point of the tour, where there is also a great restaurant to toast the wonderful tour.
