The Green Heart of Europe
Experience a cycling tour of Slovenia, the green heart of Europe and a rising power in the world of cycling thanks to the achievements of Tadej Pogacar and Primoz Roglic on the routes of Europe’s major cycling tours.
Discover the country's rich cycling heritage along your route, which will take you to the karst plateau, known for its network of more than 8,000 underground caves, including the Postojna Cave.
Then, as you cycle along the picturesque Soča Gorge, you’ll reach Triglav National Park and its long mountain pass leading to Slovenia’s must-see attraction: Lake Bled, with its island and monastery—the most photographed spot in the country.
Next, Celje, the fortified “City of Princes,” offers cultural activities and thermal baths—which will satisfy your curiosity as well 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, Ljubljana, with its Parisian-style architecture and cuisine. Dobrodošli!
