The green heart of Europe
Experience a cycling tour of Slovenia, the green heart of Europe and newly great cycling nation thanks to the exploits of Tadej Pogacar and Primoz Roglic on the roads of Europe's major cycling tours.
Discover the country's wealth of cycling possibilities as your route takes you through the karst plateau, known for its network of over 8,000 underground caves, including Postojna.
Then, pedaling along the picturesque Soča Gorge, you'll reach Triglav National Park and its long pass leading to Slovenia's must-see attraction: Lake Bled, its island and monastery - the country's most photographed spot.
Then there's Celje, the walled "City of Princes", with its cultural activities and thermal baths, which will delight your curiosity as much as your need to relax after long days on the bike!
From here, the peaceful, scenic Krka River valley leads to the charming capital Ljubljana, with its Parisian-style architecture and cuisine. Dobrodošli!
