Day 1

Riding your bike on Mt. Stol it’s all about amazing views and great mountain bike trails.

The descent takes us down a disused military road from where we drop into an amazing secret trail. We end the first part of the day in Podbela where we stop for the snacks and possible cool of in the Nadiža river. Afternoon activities will take us to the amazing trails of Robidisce trail centre to spend the rest of our energy.
