The ride begins in cool, resin-scented air as you push off into Pokljuka’s high forest—conifers leaning like patient guides over a hard-packed ribbon of dirt and gravel. The e‑bike’s gentle push lets you hold a pace that reveals the plateau incrementally: dappled light, pockets of meadow where sheep graze, and sudden windows onto the Julian Alps that cut the horizon with jagged clarity.
