In order to continue the already started tour you return to Most na Soči, from where you continue your cycling trip through Kanal, a picturesque small city connected with the ridge over Soča River. Follow a well-arranged section of the cycling route towards Solkan along the Soča River and railway track. After passing Solkan, cycle through Nova Gorica and across the neighbouring Italian Gorizia.
