The Alps...
Erzberg Rodeo is only something that we went to see quickly. The main point was the Alps. Not the fancy passes. We wanted to do some off road there.
It was four days of everything:
Beautiful scenery...
and not so beautiful,...
nice off road,...
and very nice road parts.
There were some crossing problems,...
....
There was also a bit of Erzberg,...
some friends from Africa,...
night adventures,....
and something white.
This is our trip on the map:
Legend:
- red: all the roads
- blue: all the off road
- black: sleeping points
So, lets start from begining...
Julian Alps - Day 1
Thursday, start at 5AM. Me and my friend Anton. XT & Tenere. Of course, we start at 6. And a half.
Fast to Slovenia: Trogir - Sibenik - Benkovac - Maslenica - Rijeka - Rupe.
In Slovenia we put our friend Zumo to avoid everything except off road.
You can see what happened after that.
After half an hour of trying to find the exit we are on the road again. Lunch in small place called Zaga.
Meat for Anton...
and fish for me.
It is time for mountains...
Nice weather on the top
This is what we were looking for - the road through the Alps
Down on the south side
Lets go to Mangart. The most beautiful road in Slovenian Alps.
It will be better, maybe...
...but not this time. Waiting for better weather.
After half an hour the rain stops. Lets go!
On the way to Mangart.
And then...
...problems again. Where is the tunnel?
More bikes are coming.
What can you do? Go back, nothing else.
Over the Predil pass to Italy...
...and in Pontebba on new pass to Paularo.
So we didnt make it.
After one hour fight with the mud and snow we are on the road again. Thanks to T63 tires.
One and the only pansion in Paularo. Thats it for today.
Dinner, a few drinks and after that, sleeping like a baby.
...next: Italian part of the trip: Dolomites
