Overview

Follow a medieval merchants' route from the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana, through flat marshlands and karst mountain scenery, to the west-coast town of Piran. The cycling is easy and undulating and gives you time to appreciate authentic Slovenian life. The scenery of rocky limestone peaks, waterfalls and river rapids is astounding - Iski Vintgar gorge is a highlight plus you’ll step inside one of the world's most visited cave systems. The cobbled streets and lively cafes of Slovenia’s compact capital get this tour off to a great start and the Mediterranean waters at Piran are an alluring place to finish.
