The majority of the tour leads across the dried up Kobariško Blato marshland where mills used to operate and where a railroad used to connect the towns of Kobarid and Cividale. Today, this area with rich diversity of vegetation and animal life includes an educational and cycling trail with splendid views of the long mountain ridge of Mt. Stol and of the mighty walls of Mt. Krn. Old cart track trails are perfect for cyclists headed to the Breginjski kot valley and further on into the Region of Veneto, or just to the river Nadiža which springs under Mt. Stol and turns towards Cividale at the foothills of Mt. Matajur. From the Nadiža gorges, the trail leads to the natural bathing spot near the village of Robič which is a true paradise for bathers, as the river Nadiža is one of the warmest Alpine rivers. According to the folk tradition, the river also possesses medicinal powers which are especially beneficial after a tiring cycling tour.
In Kobarid, the trail turns on the local road which ascends towards the village of Svino where it turns right and descends towards the next village under Mt. Matajur. In the village of Sužid, the trail keeps to the left and then turns on the cart track leading towards Robič. Just in front of the village, the trail turns right on the road towards the village of Breginj which it quickly leaves and turns through the village of Kred. Behind Kred, the trail keeps to the right until it reaches picturesque gorges, numerous river pools and finally the bathing spot near Robič. To reach the previously used cycling trail, a short drive along the main road is required, whilst the return between Sužid and Svino follows the trail across the Kobariško Blato marshland and not the trail routed to the right and through the village of Svino.
