Ještěd mountain and Jizera Mountains elevation bonanza!
Epic autumn ride with lots of climbs, quick and fun descents, beautiful views and lighting, as well as a lot of flow feeling! 🤩😁☀️🍁👌🏼 Also delicious coffee in Liberec ☕... And somehow a massive swarm of small flies in the Hejnice region? 😅🪰🪰🪰🪰

AustroSlovIta Bikepacking trip, day 8 - final day of the trip, from the Bivacco on the Kolovrat mountain ridge through another ridge, then along the Soča/Isonzo river, then to Grado, a city in an island on the Adriatic coast! 😁 I made it!
After a very good night of sleep in the Bivouac hut (I was very happy to be inside, because a thunderstorm passed outside and it was strong!), I packed and went on, first to get water nearby (there was no water in the hut itself), and then along a ridge…

AustroSlovIta Bikepacking trip, day 7 - from Bovec to the Kolovrat mountain ridge (Italy/Slovenia border), where there is a small bivouac/hut, where I will spend the night 😁
It rained all night and all morning, so I started late and made a shorter variant of the day (and let's be honest, I'm very tired at this point, one extra mountain just for the view was not necessary 😅). Rough gravel along the river Soča to quite a while,…

AustroSlovIta Bikepacking trip, day 6 - from Bled through the Vršič Pass (Triglav National Park) to Bovec
After a day of rest, back on the bike for another big day! The weather was unstable and often rainy (the weather forecast was almost useless), so eventually I put the rain gear on and started my way. Bled Lake was beautiful even with this weather and after a hiking…

AustroSlovIta Bikepacking trip, day 5 - from Ossiacher Lake (by Villach) over the Wurzen Pass to Slovenia, then to the Bled Lake
Started the day by getting my front wheel checked and centered (it was wobbling a bit, not enough to be dangerous... Yet!), then a but of easy riding by the river before tackling the crazy Wurzen Pass street! Starting at around 10 to 12%, then the second half between 15…

AustroSlovIta Bikepacking trip, day 4 - from Mauterndorf through the Nock Mountains to Ossiacher Lake (near Villach)
Another big day with big climbs and lots of distance to cover! But no crazy trails and super steep climbs on loose gravel like yesterday 😜 (just very steep on asphalt 😅). The landscape changed from place to place, very epic! Met lots of other bike riders on the way,…
