Description of path

In the center of Lesce, turn toward Hraše. At the end of Hraše, the left road leads toward Studenčice, but you should cycle toward Rodine. Proceed to the left in the direction of Žirovnica. After crossing the railroad tracks, cycle through Moste and onward to Jesenice. At the roundabout, turn left, cycle along the railroad tracks and cross them. Head straight past the railroad station. Turn left at the crossroads and left again across the bridge. Once you cross the Sava, turn right and then left at the first intersection to cross the Sava Dolinka once again using a narrower bridge. You should reach the main Jesenice – Rateča road. Turn left and you'll soon see a sign for cycling trail 910200 by the road. The trail runs along the main road until Mojstrana. Follow the markings for the cycling trail through Mojstrana and Belca. Once the main road approaches the Sava river, the real cycling trail begins on the left. It runs on the former railroad tracks. Follow the markings for the trail through Kranjska Gora and Rateče. After crossing the national border, continue toward Tarvisio. Turn right at the large intersection where you can see the railroad in the valley. Turn right onto the trail after crossing the bridge over the former railroad. After 100 meters, you should reach a bridge with a protective railing that is built over the former railroad bridge. On the other side, follow the trail on the left (the one on the right is rocky). After 200 meters, you'll reach the Alpe Adria cycling trail. Turn right to Austria. There, the cycling trail joins a walking trail. Turn left in front of the gas station, then right at the next intersection. Turn left onto the main road after the railroad underpass and follow the main road to Podklošter (Arnoldstein). Turn left there and follow the narrow asphalt road across the bridge over the railroad station to the freeway underpass. Turn right just before the underpass. At Podturje (Neuhaus), go through the narrow railroad underpass, turn left and turn right soon afterwards. Cross the main road and head straight for the Korensko sedlo border crossing. The steep ascent ends at the pass – the highest point of the route at 1073 meters above sea level. Descend to Podkoren, turn left at the intersection and cycle along the main road to Kranjska Gora. There, turn onto the cycling path and return to the starting point.

Most of this route follows the cycling trail 910200 (Jesenice-Rateče). In Podkoren, you'll pass the ski slope where World Cup skiing competitions take place. From Tarvisio to Austria, the cycling route Alpe Adria first runs along the former railroad tracks, then winds through the forest from Kokovo (Coccau) onwards.
