Cycling holiday in Slovenia

Slovenia & cycling: a perfect match

Northern Slovenia borders with Austria. The countries have a natural border and share the Karawanks, a huge mountain range that is part of the Alps. In the south, smaller hills give you the first view of the next bordering country, Croatia. Down south, you can already feel the Mediterranean character whereas in the north, the alpine flair is present. If you are seeking for a bigger challenge, our Danube experience by bike and boat might be the perfect match for you! In addition to Slovenia, you will also travel other countries such as Hungary, Austria and Serbia. However, the good thing about a cycling holiday in Slovenia: You do not have to decide. Go on a trip and discover all adventures of the country:

• Maribor and Ljubljana: The cities are the perfect match for those interested in culture and art.
• Kobarit is home to the European Museum of the Year of 1998 and invites you to discover cultural heritage as well as natural highlights.

Slovenia: cycling through the landscape of a whole continent

On a cycling holiday through Slovenia, you will encounter unique mountain peaks, enchanting lakes, historic cities, endless forests and stunning Mediterranean coastlines. The country is rather small, so that you do not have to travel thousands of kilometers to see all of the highlights mentioned above. Due to the mountainous terrain, we recommend the tour to intermediate and experienced cyclists. Those seeking for a relaxed family cycling holiday are better off in Croatia or for example at Lake Constance. It depends on your personal preferences whether you embark on the journey alone (self-guided) or as part of a guided bike holiday through Slovenia.
