Kanal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

June 25, 2025,Day 5 (Finish!) - The Grand Escape Italy/Slovenia

On Slovenia National Day we set off on a beautiful, quiet former railway track bike path winding up along the mighty Soca River.

Then lots of ups and downs, quiet villages and great panoramic views on quiet roads as we gradually climbed into the mountains following the impressive Soca gorge.
