Монтана - Г. Лом

Difficulty (1-5): 3 (some training is still necessary due to the longer route) Interest (1-5): 4 Time: 4 hours

A very pleasant and relatively easy route.

With some exceptions, it is mainly a gentle, gradual climb and ridden at an even pace. Only between Dolni Lom and Prevala is there a steeper and longer section, but half of it can be climbed without pushing.

After Beli Mel you enter between hills, with trees and rocks on both sides of the road, making the ride quite pleasant.

At the turnoff in Dolni Lom towards G. Lom I was stopped for a check by the border police, so don’t set off without documents.

There is water in several places, and you can ask to refill in every village. A 1-litre thermos is enough; no need to carry two like me :).
