Experience a bike tour of Slovenia, the green heart of Europe and newly prominent cycling nation thanks to the achievements of Tadej Pogacar and Primoz Roglic on the roads of Europe's major cycling tours.
Discover the cycling riches of their country along your route, which will take you to the karst plateau, known for its network of over 8,000 underground caves, including Postojna Cave.
Then, cycling along the picturesque Soča Gorge, you will reach Triglav National Park and its long pass leading to Slovenia's must-see attraction: Lake Bled, its island, and monastery—the most photographed place in the country.
Next, Celje, the fortified "City of Princes," offers cultural activities and thermal baths, which will delight your curiosity as much as your need for relaxation after long days of cycling!
From there, the peaceful and scenic Krka River Valley will lead you to the charming capital city of Ljubljana, with its Parisian-style architecture and cuisine. Welcome!
