Krnica valley
Duration: 3h
Downhill difficulty: difficult
Distance / Elevation: 16,5km / 850m
Sharp carves, steep and technical parts, long straight sections allowing high speed. Can you wish anything better?
Starting point: You can bike from anywhere in Bovec or from Alpicenter Vodenca campsite, however the map and description start from Polovnik campsite.
Description: Turn right from the campsite's gate, past the Bovec's main square and up the main road by the church towards Plužna village. After about a kilometer from Bovec on Y shaped junction go right and stay on this road. Gravel road gradually ascends and every now and than the views of Bovec and surroundings open. At the middle (B) station of Kanin cableway the road turns left and in about ten minutes you'll be at the crossing. Go right and follow the road to the farm at it's end. On the right side of the houses the marked path starts. You'll follow the marks all the time. Mostly you'll bike on paths but now and than it goes on the forest road for a while. After one long section of forest road on a big junction go slightly right on a path. When you'll come to the houses, cross the asphalt road and stay on the marked path going to the forest. Little later you'll get once more to the asphalt. This time for good. Go left and you're in Bovec sooner than expected. The Krnica valley downhill is most enjoyable on a full suspension "enduro" bike. Some sections of this downhill are difficult and require good skills!
