The idea for the second day of our four-days bike ride through the Julian Alps was to ascend to Mangart from Bovec and then return back to Bovec. The weather report was not 100% promising, predicting rain for the afternoon. It was very clear to us that attempting a very steep mountain road in wet and cold conditions would not be wise at all. To thus account for the weather uncertainy, we also had made a backup plan: ride up to Predel, instead, and then back to Bovec from there. We started from Bovec at around 8h30 and quickly hit the road northwards. Soon we passed the junction, where one could follow the road through the Soča valley, eventually up to Vršič, which we had come down the day before.

Starting at about 8h30 in the morning in Erlendorf, we headed for the street that leads up to Wurzenpaß immediately. After only about half a kilometer, it became clear that cycling up to Wurzenpaß would be harder than originally anticipated (the rather naive, initial idea was that Wurzenpaß would serve as a quick and not-too-hard warm-up exercise before going for the real pass over Vršič). Even though it was "only" about 500 height meters up from Erlendorf, the challenge was in the slopes, which topped out at about 18% (very steep for cycling indeed)! On Wurzenpaß, we stopped to look at an old tank right next to the road, which reminds visitors of WWII and the time >>>
