From alpine lakes to a sun-drenched coast packed with mountain views, immense bodies of water and flowing wine
Starting at the fairy-tale world of Lake Bled, a glacial lake famed for its beautiful island church and clifftop castle, your ride will take you first through alpine Slovenia's most beautiful mountain vistas, over a high pass, along cool flowing rivers and out into a valley laden with vineyards. Castles and hilltop churches will dominate your view, along with great local wine and food in the Karst region (a beautiful limestone plateau). Finally, the sunny coast awaits with lazy promenades and beautiful Venetian architecture. This is the perfect cycling holiday for lovers of diverse landscape, good food and great local wine, and people who would like nothing more than to soak their feet in the warm sea after a long journey by bike.
Highlights:
- visit a stunning alpine national park
- swim in fresh, cool alpine lakes
- follow the emerald coloured Soča river
- sip local red wine in a world of limestone
- sample great traditional food in Karst villages
