Bohinj is an exceptional natural and cultural phenomenon, in which any new spatial development must be located very sensitively. This is also the case with the network of cycle paths, which should serve both locals and visitors. The Bohinj Cycle Route (BCR), the first loop to be realised, connects the Lower and Upper Valleys with the starting point in Bohinjska Bistrica.
The basic conceptual starting point was to route as much of the route as possible along existing field and forest paths and tracks, which were once embedded in the space with a deep visual and semantic logic. At the same time, we wanted to link the route to settlements that are part of the cultural heritage, as well as to additional, indigenous tourist offerings. This placement and their arrangement has at the same time avoided delicate new buildings and only minimally added the most necessary missing links.
After reviewing historical cartographic material, we analysed the quality of the macro and micro spatial context (integration into the hierarchy of views, settings, cultural and natural heritage, etc.) while exploring possible routes, in order to accurately locate the route, the rest areas and other architectural features in space. The locations for the rest stops are chosen according to the attractiveness of the site, the rhythm of the individual stops, but also the ownership of the plots of land.
The architectural furnishings along the route (shelters, benches and chairs, stands, lookout masts, rubbish bins, troughs, footbridges, information boards, etc.) are "typical" and modular (rationalisation), both in elements and materials (natural stone as a foundation, wooden structures, sculptures, etc.). ), it refers to the tradition of the space, but at the same time builds on it with contemporary compositions (e.g. the assembly of benches or the canopy, which abstracts the marquee of Mount Studor in a striking proportion...etc.), details (steel joints between the stone and the wood) and technologies (glued wood for the benches, chairs...).
Technical solutions (water culverts, hardening and retaining walls, etc.) were also sought on site together with the builders, while sustainable solutions were proposed for the treatment of the very different segments of the cycle loop (a predominantly rolled, skimmed and dust-protected route, which is only exceptionally - on erosion-prone sections - also asphalted). Unfortunately, the contractors, following a political decision, asphalted the entire route.
