From Kranjska Gora, we head through Rateče in direction of Trbiž. We then cross the Italian border and soon turn left at the roadsign “Laghi di Fusine”; the road leads us to the Belopeška lakes. Views of lakes and mountaintops are breathtaking. You can decide to take a walk around the lakes while those more demanding can hike to the “Rifugio Zacchi” mountain cottage (1,380 m/4,528 ft. above sea level). It is situated on the Italian side of the Visoka Ponca mountain. Once there, we make descent back towards Kranjska Gora.
On this cycling trip, we make no more than 123 meters’/404 ft. worth of ascent so the trip is also suitable for those individuals and groups with somewhat lower physical fitness. It is also suitable for families.
