The Alps...

Erzberg Rodeo is only something that we went to see quickly. The main point was the Alps. Not the fancy passes. We wanted to do some off road there.

It was four days of everything:

Beautiful scenery...

Legend:
- red: all the roads
- blue: all the off road
- black: sleeping points



So, lets start from begining...

Julian Alps - Day 1

Thursday, start at 5AM. Me and my friend Anton. XT & Tenere. Of course, we start at 6. And a half.
Fast to Slovenia: Trogir - Sibenik - Benkovac - Maslenica - Rijeka - Rupe.
In Slovenia we put our friend Zumo to avoid everything except off road.
You can see what happened after that.

After half an hour of trying to find the exit we are on the road again. Lunch in small place called Zaga.
