We cycle from Zali Log to the side valley of Davča, known as the largest Slovene village. At the beginning we ride along a narrow valley, before the gorge, we turn to the right and start a "serious" ascent - we reach 1000 metres above the sea level. We continue along ridge and descend past the Jemec inn where we certify our ascent with a STAMP (KT 10) and a sign in the cycling book. We ride on to the Davča falls, then we return for a part and we continue our way past the Jurež, Majdelc and Podhočar farms. You can extend the stage with descend in Baška grapa - first to the Robar farm and then round of Črni vrh to Podbrdo. We ride back along the old Austrian road to the Hut on Petrovo Brdo, STAMP (KT 11). The road is above the present road, which goes along the Mlečni potok gorge.
The track past Robar to Podbrdo is especially interesting for those who are interested in histrorical remains - there are many bunkers here, built after the First World War by the Italians to defend the new border after the First World War. From Petrovo Brdo we can descend to the starting point along the well maintained road of Zadnja Sora. Those who want to cycle more should continue the track towards Sorica to Podrošt. By the way - when you are in Sorica: the STAMP (KT 12) and the entry book are in the Macesen guest house!
