Kobariški Stol Ridge Trail and Hlek Hut

The trail along the ridge is completely mobile, but very original. The path was laid out as a military road in World War I. Later this overgrown and only served the farmers as access to their pastures. Up here you will surely meet more sheep, goats and donkeys than people.

The most spectacular of the way is the imposing view. On the south side is the picturesque valley of the Nadiža River. If the visibility is good, you can even see the Adriatic coast. As soon as you change the side of the ridge, you look into the Socatal and the rugged limestone cliffs of the Julian Alps in the background.

At the end of the trail, the official MTB route leads to the left. There you will drive / push downhill for about 20 minutes steeply over roots and a rich selection of possible drivable or non-drivable lines and finally meet a gravel path that leads back into the valley. Alternatively, you can use an old military path on the south side, which runs much less steeply into the valley. However, this one is only for adventurers. Some sections of the path are difficult to drive due to scree. In addition, it is mostly overgrown.

The straight path to Kobarid is not recommended for normal mountain bikers. This is very steep and so blocked that driving in these passages is reserved for trial professionals only.

Incredibly beautiful downhill. Like from the picture book: D

You can forget about the alternatives in Komoot.
If you come from the Stol, then down to the left. About 300m down the sloping slope. Only mobile for downhillers. Lots of loose stones and leaves and roots. Then the way will be better. I wanted right up. The path can only be done on foot!
