キウザフォルテの峠・トップ20

Why Mangart is one of the most beautiful mountains in Slovenia

Beautiful and quiet road. Also possible to climb the off-road path on road bike with 28mm tyres coming from Valbruna , but requires a lot of coordination and effort. Only a small bit between Rifugio Grego and Sella Somdogna requires the bike to be pushed or ridden unclipped. From here I recommend pushing/carefully riding your bike to Rigufio Grego for a nice cake and stunning view!

The southern ascent begins on the SP110 coming from Via Guiseppe Mazzini. The first part leads relatively sharply up along the river before crossing it and turning right. From here, things really get going. Following several bends and straights, you reach a bridge after about 3.8 to 4 km and change from the west to the east flank of the mountain. Here you come to a relatively dark passage in a tunnel, but lights are recommended. Shortly after that, there is a second, unlit but very short tunnel. Shortly after that, you change back to the west flank. From here, a winding ascent begins with lots of bends, which repeatedly offers different perspectives back. The only problem here is the gradient of over 9 percent and more, so that (unfortunately) you tend to look at your handlebars as you drive up the mountain and hope that it will finally end. It's a very nice drive up, with impressive rock faces appearing next to you as you follow the winding road past all sorts of monuments. Once you get to the top, you're glad you survived the mountain, as the local mountains are characterized by their lack of rhythm and steepness. At the top, there are various restaurants and a total of three possible pass signs: directly at the "Al Gallo Forcello" hotel, in the middle of the lake, which is located above, and at the former border crossing.

Wonderful, even ascent from the south, without any significant difficulties!👍

After many kilometers on the road, finally some variety on the way

Beautiful pass road with great views of Mangart etc.

highest point of the SP112

The Somdogna saddle is the end of the long and bold carriage road that runs through the entire Dogna valley. Various paths branch off from the saddle which lead to exploring the surrounding mountains, rich in evidence of the Great War.
