Overview

Leisurely cycling from central Slovenia to the coast through authentic villages and towns which show a slice of real Slovenia. Enchanting streets of Slovenia’s compact capital. Cycling through three countries following the medieval merchants' route from the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana, through flat marshlands and karst mountain scenery, to the coastline of Croatia. The scenery of rocky limestone peaks, waterfalls and river rapids is astounding plus you’ll step inside one of the world's most visited cave systems. Cycle the length of Slovenia’s tiny coastline before pedalling across the border into Italy, for a brief exploration of the Italian city of Trieste. Cross into Croatia to enjoy beaches, towns and nature reserves.
