From the soaring peaks of the Julian Alps, the sparkling emerald-green lakes and rivers to the short but sweet coastline along the Adriatic Sea, tiny Slovenia really does have it all.
Our 300km Slovenia Bike challenge is a 5-day adventure connecting a number of destinations that have obtained ’Slovenia Green Certificate’. Destinations receive this certificate when they show sufficient efforts directed towards the sustainable development.
Our journey starts at the alpine village of Kranjska Gora, in the heart of the Julian Alps and ends at the Adriatic Sea and the picturesque historical coastal town of Portorož.
We pass the famous Alpine lakes of Bled and Bohinj after travelling through the beautiful Radovna valley and across the densely forested Pokljuka Plateau. After hopping aboard one of the world’s most scenic railways, our ride continues along the emerald green Soca River.
Our cycling continues through the fascinating karstic topography, before the road joins the abandoned Paranzana railway track, slowly descending towards the town of Portorož and our finish line on the Adriatic coast.
Best time of year: May, June, Sept, October
Grade: moderate to tough
Number of days: 6
