Dear ECC / ECM Friends,
Some people have asked me if we already have a programme for the ECM 2020.
Well, we have indeed! It's still officially provisional, but it's complete.
So have a look what you can expect from the ECM 2020.
Cheers,
Roel & Thomas F.
Important note:
This programme is still provisional and may be changed at any time, due to roadworks, bad weather etc.
The routes are NOT guided like in Denmark. Satnav files and a routebook will be provided. All routes are free to choose which Tour or on which day you want to drive them. Lunches 'en route' are at own choice and expense.

Friday 26-06
10.00h Departure 3 Countries Tour ( choice of 4 routes: Little, Short, Medium and Challenge! )
Little Route 160 km 2.55h > Short 224 km 4.35h > Medium 285 km 5.40h > Challenge 290 km 6.30h
Little and Short can be driven in just half day and are relatively easy and short.
Medium: in kms. almost as long as the Challenge, but a bit easier and also quicker. First half is the same route.
Challenge: this is THE BIG ONE… The route takes us through absolutely fantastic landscapes and along mountain-roads that are sometimes narrow and challenging, but a joy to drive. Like the Short and Medium, we drive the Würzenpass 1871m. 18%!! into Slovenia, Triglav Narodni Park. Amazing landscapes and views...
In Slovenia, we drive through the Olympic Winter Games town of Kranjska Gora into the Triglav National Park. Over the Vrsic-pass 1611m. down into the valley towards Bovec, where you can have lunch in that pittoresque town. Then onwards via the Passo del Predil 1156m. into Italia and the splendid Friuli Region.
This is where the Medium takes a right turn and goes to the north along an easier route, and where the Challenge Route turns left. Then the fun begins… Via the twisting mountainroad SP76 we drive to Chiusaforte and follow the river to Pontebba, where we join the route of Medium again, to continue together to the Nassfeldpass 1530m and back again into Austria.
