The green heart of Europe
Experience a cycling tour of Slovenia, the green heart of Europe and a newly great cycling nation thanks to the achievements of Tadej Pogacar and Primoz Roglic on the roads of the major European cycling tours.
Discover the richness of cycling in their country along your route that will take you to the karst plateau, known for its network of more than 8,000 underground caves, including Postojna.
Then, pedaling along the picturesque Soča Gorge, you will reach the Triglav National Park and its long pass leading to Slovenia's must-see attraction: the Lake Bled, its island and monastery - the most photographed place in the country.
Then, Celje, the walled "City of Princes", offers cultural activities and thermal baths, which will delight your curiosity as much as your need to relax 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. Dobrodošli!
