A quiet border pass with an alpine flair: The climb to the Paulitsch Saddle stretches over 16 kilometers with a moderate five percent gradient—ideal for a long, steady ride. There's hardly any traffic, beautiful nature, and a hint of the Balkan feeling on the Slovenian border. Tip: Ride in summer and bring plenty of provisions—there's nothing up there!
