SLOVENIA – a hidden Gem in Europe

Welcome to Bled, the starting point of your cycling adventure! Upon arrival at the hotel, you'll be greeted with a city guided tour, where you will learn about the history of Bled and its greatest attractions. The day concludes with a welcome meeting to introduce the tour and your fellow travelers, followed by a delicious dinner.

Your journey begins with a ride through the charming Old Towns of the Gorenjska-Upper Carniola region. Cycle along the scenic Sava River to Radovljica, a picturesque town known for the beekeeping museum and the chocolate festival. Over a small mountain pass we reach Kranj, the capital of this region and finally Škofja Loka, Slovenia’s best-preserved medieval town. For those seeking a gentler pace, a support vehicle will be available to shorten the route.

Immerse yourself in the stories and legends of Škofja Loka before continuing to one of Slovenia's greatest highlights—Ljubljana, the “Green Capital of Europe” in 2016. Follow the Sava River as it guides you to this vibrant city, concluding your ride at the iconic Dragon Bridge, a symbol of Ljubljana's rich history and culture. Before dinner in one of Ljubljana's famous restaurants, we have a guided walk through the city's sights.

A morning private transfer takes you to Logatec in the Notranjska region, where you’ll begin pedaling through tranquil fields and forests to the stunning Rakov Škocjan, Slovenia’s oldest landscape park. The stage ends in Postojna, where you'll explore the renowned Postojna Caves, famous for their mesmerizing stalagmites, stalactites, and the unique “human fish,” the Proteus. The cave hotel also has its own secret. Secret rooms found in the hotel testify to the activities of the secret services of the former political system.

Start the day with a visit to Predjama Castle, a remarkable fortress built beneath a towering 123-meter cliff. Learn the thrilling tale of the robber knight Erasmus, who outsmarted an entire army using hidden cave passages. Enjoy a scenic descent into the Vipava Valley, one of Slovenia's premier wine regions, where you’ll savor local food and wine at a family winery

Today’s ride takes you to Štanjel, a picture-perfect Karst village of stone houses atop a hill. Pedal through scenic vineyards and ancient villages offering tastings of Teran wine and Karst ham. Arrive at Lipica, the birthplace of the elegant white Lipizzaner horses, before ending the day in Lokev, in a family guided boutiqe hotel.

Cycle across the Karst Plain, following the historic railway routes Val Rosandra and Parenzana toward the Adriatic. The final stretch along a coastal cycling path reveals stunning vistas of Slovenia's coastline. Conclude your tour in the Venetian town of Piran, where you can relax by the sea or enjoy a spectacular sunset from the hotel terrace.
