This is how Slovenia is meant to be seen!

Slovenia Highlights is a 12-day cycling tour created for travelers who want to experience the country slowly, comfortably, and with depth. Riding at an easy, enjoyable pace, we link together Slovenia’s most diverse regions — from the capital city to the coast, from wine hills to alpine valleys — with plenty of time for stops, exploration, and memorable meals along the way.

Our route takes us through the Ljubljana Marshes, the dramatic Karst landscape, Postojna Cave and the vast forests of Inner Carniola, on to the Slovenian coast, Piran, and its historic salt pans. We continue through Goriška Brda, Slovenia’s premier wine region, into the Soča Valley with its emerald river and iconic bridges, then climb into the Julian Alps, visiting Bovec, crossing Vršič Pass, and finishing in Kranjska Gora. The journey concludes in the heart of Gorenjska, cycling among alpine lakes, high plateaus, and scenic bike paths framed by mountains.

Daily stages are short, varied, and thoughtfully designed, following Slovenia’s most scenic roads, villages, and natural parks. Every day brings something new — a canyon, a lake, a vineyard, a mountain pass, or a stroll through a charming historic town — making this tour as rich in experiences as it is easy on the legs.

On average, we’ll ride 40 km per day with 485 meters of elevation gain, making this trip perfectly balanced for enjoyable cycling, scenic routes, and relaxed daily stages.

All of our trips are designed for maximum enjoyment on the bike. If any stage feels too challenging, our support vehicle is always available, so you can shorten the route whenever you need. Every stage can be adjusted to fit each rider’s abilities and preferences.

Day 1

Welcome to Slovenia!

We don’t start pedaling on day one, but the adventure begins all the same. Guests arrive at Zagreb Airport, where we meet the group at 12:00 PM, then travel together to — Ljubljana, a vibrant, green capital rich in history and character.

After checking into our centrally located hotel, we take time to set up bikes and gear, making sure everything is dialed in for the days ahead. The afternoon is yours to ease into the trip with a first stroll along the Ljubljanica River or a quick wander through the charming old town.

In the evening, we come together for a welcome dinner — a chance to meet the team, get to know each other, and talk through what the journey has in store over the coming days.

⭐ Today’s Must-See Highlights in Ljubljana

  • Ljubljana Old Town – a must-see area for strolling, souvenir shopping, cozy cafés, and great local restaurants
Day 2 - Cycling from Ljubljana to Postojna

From City Streets to Karst Wonders!

We start the day in Ljubljana, rolling south on quiet back roads before opening up into the wide, open landscapes of the Ljubljana Marshes — one of the most scenic natural parks near the capital. A mix of gravel and paved sections leads us through small villages and along drainage canals to Podpeč, tucked beneath the hill of St. Anne.

From there, we ride toward Vrhnika, the birthplace of Slovenia’s most famous writer, Ivan Cankar, and the place where the Ljubljanica River emerges from underground. After a relaxed break, we continue through forested roads toward Logatec and Liplje, where the route winds past old linden-tree avenues and traditional farmhouses.

The day finishes in Postojna, home to the world-famous Postojna Cave. There’s time to stroll through town — and for those who choose to visit the cave, the experience starts in a truly unique way: the first part of the tour takes place by underground train.

⭐ Today’s Must-See Highlights

  • Ljubljana Marshes (2 km) – a vast wetland landscape known for its wildlife, open views, and peaceful rural atmosphere
  • Vrhnika (24 km) – birthplace of Ivan Cankar and the source of the Ljubljanica River

Day 3 - Cycling from Postojna to Lipica

Into the Heart of the Karst!

We leave Postojna behind and ease into the day along quiet village roads, gradually riding deeper into Slovenia’s Karst landscape. Forests and open pastures line the route, and the relaxed pace makes it easy to soak in the wide morning views of the Inner Carniola region.

As we approach Razdrto, the dramatic silhouette of Mount Nanos rises ahead of us. From here, we follow the old Karst road toward the coast, and the scenery begins to shift — rockier terrain, open plateaus, and a breeze carrying that unmistakable Karst air.

Soon we enter the Škocjan Caves Regional Park, one of the most remarkable natural sites in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There’s time for a short break or a walk to the viewpoints overlooking the massive underground collapse dolines — a powerful reminder of the forces that shaped this landscape.

In the afternoon, we roll into Lipica, the cradle of Karst tradition and the historic home of the Lipizzaner horses. The day winds down with a visit to the stud farm, a walk among the elegant white horses, and a moment of calm on this centuries-old Karst estate.

⭐ Today’s Must-See Highlights

  • Škocjan Caves Regional Park (32.7 km) – vast underground caves paired with a stunning outdoor park and dramatic viewpoints
  • Lipica (43.7 km) – the legendary stud farm of the Lipizzaner horses, including historic stables and peaceful pastures

Day 4 - Cycling from Lipica to Koper

From White Horses to the Blue Sea!

We start the day in the calm surroundings of Lipica, leaving the noise of the world behind among white Lipizzaner horses and centuries-old oak alleys. The route leads us through classic Karst scenery, gradually descending toward the sea. Gravel and pavement alternate across rolling hills and pine groves until we ride right along the Italian border.

From here, we join the legendary Parenzana Trail, the route of a former narrow-gauge railway and today one of the most beautiful cycling paths in Slovenia and Italy. Gentle gradients, tunnels, and stone bridges guide us steadily toward the coast, where the air changes and the port city of Koper comes into view.

The afternoon is yours to enjoy: a stroll through Koper’s charming old town, a visit to the Praetorian Palace, or time by the sea — a swim, a walk along the pier, and maybe an ice cream in the sun. For food lovers, this is the perfect place to sit down and enjoy fresh seafood straight from the Adriatic.

⭐ Today’s Must-See Highlights

  • Parenzana Trail (10 km) – a historic former narrow-gauge railway turned into a scenic coastal cycling path
  • Outskirts of Trieste (20 km) – riding along the border where cultures and landscapes blend
  • Koper (43.7 km) – a lively Adriatic port with a Venetian old town, seaside promenades, and excellent seafood

Day 5 - Cycling from Koper to Sečovlje

Salt Air, Stone Streets & the Adriatic Rhythm!

We give ourselves over to the charms of Slovenia’s coast. Leaving Koper, we roll toward Izola, a former island where narrow streets, fishing boats, and the scent of the sea create a true Mediterranean feel. Keeping an easy coastal rhythm, we continue to Strunjan, a protected nature reserve known for the highest sea cliffs on the eastern Adriatic and views that stay with you long after you leave.

The route then turns toward Piran, the jewel of the Slovenian coast. We loop through town — from Tartini Square up to the Church of St. George, then back along the waterfront where pastel houses seem to rise straight from the sea. There’s time for a coffee or gelato in the old town, best enjoyed slowly, like everything else here.

From Piran, we continue on to Portorož, Slovenia’s classic seaside resort, lined with promenades, palm trees, and a relaxed holiday vibe. The day finishes at the Sečovlje Salt Pans, one of the oldest salt-making areas on the Adriatic. Salt is still harvested here by hand using centuries-old methods. A walk among the evaporation ponds and stone salt workers’ houses feels like stepping back to a time when salt was known as “white gold.”

A short and very easy day — designed for enjoyment, photos, sea air, and plenty of relaxed stops along the coast.

⭐ Today’s Must-See Highlights

  • Izola (6.2 km) – a former island town with a strong fishing heritage and authentic Mediterranean character
  • Piran (17.6 km) – a beautifully preserved Venetian-style town with Tartini Square, medieval walls, and sweeping sea views

Day 6 - Cycling from Dutovlje to Nova Gorica

Stone Villages, Vineyards & Castle Views!

We begin the day with a short morning transfer back to the Slovenian Karst, where we get back on the bikes and ride straight into a landscape of vineyards, pine groves, and the deep red Karst soil that gives this region its unmistakable character.

Before long, we arrive in Štanjel, one of the oldest and most beautiful villages in the Karst. The village is best known for the Ferrari Garden, a stunning terraced garden designed by architect Max Fabiani, cascading down the hillside in perfect harmony with the stone village above. Narrow streets, traditional stone houses, and sweeping views across the Karst plateau make Štanjel a true highlight.

After exploring the village, we continue toward Rihemberk Castle (also known as Branik Castle), a powerful Gothic fortress rising high above the valley. One of the largest castles in Slovenia, it once guarded important trade routes and today offers impressive ramparts, towers, and panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.

From here, the route drops gently into the sunlit Vipava Valley, where Mediterranean influences begin to take hold. Vineyards, orchards, and warm air guide us toward Nova Gorica, a modern border town where Slovenian, Italian, and Venetian cultures naturally blend.

⭐ Today’s Must-See Highlights

Following the Emerald River!

We leave Nova Gorica behind and ride through Solkan, soon joining the banks of the breathtaking Soča River. Its unmistakable emerald color stays with us for most of the day, setting a calm, almost hypnotic rhythm for the ride.

Passing small riverside settlements, we reach Most na Soči, where the river widens into a lake-like basin glowing in shades of turquoise. From here, we continue to Tolmin, a lively alpine town set at the confluence of the Tolminka and Soča rivers – A natural place to pause and take it all in.

We then follow the river once more, riding easily upstream toward Kobarid, one of Slovenia’s most important historical towns and the finish of our first true alpine stage. Surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and deep history, Kobarid offers an exceptional mix of natural beauty and cultural depth.

⭐ Today’s Must-See Highlights

  • Tolmin & the River Confluence (39 km) – a must-stop where the Tolminka and Soča rivers meet in striking shades of blue and green

Day 8 - Cycling from Kobarid to Bovec

Alpine Giants & the Sound of Water!

We set off from Kobarid, riding through the quiet upper valley toward Trnovo ob Soči, with the constant sound of the Soča River rushing and foaming over rocks below us. Before long, we cross a cycling bridge that takes us to the opposite bank, opening wide views toward the dramatic walls of Mount Krn and the Stol Ridge.

Soon after, we reach one of the greatest natural landmarks of the Soča Valley: Boka Waterfall, among the tallest waterfalls in Slovenia. Its upper drop plunges an impressive 106 meters, especially powerful in spring or after heavy rain. We pause here to take in the sheer scale and raw energy of the falls.

The route continues through Čezsoča toward Kal–Koritnica, where the landscape suddenly opens up. Sweeping views appear across the Bovec Basin, framed by the peaks of Kanin, Rombon, and Polovnik.

We finish the stage in Bovec, a lively alpine hub known for its outdoor culture, dramatic surroundings, and relaxed cafés around the main square. The afternoon is yours — perhaps a short walk to Fort Kluže, or simply time spent by the emerald Soča.

Day 9 - Cycling from Lago del Predil to Kranjska Gora

Between Two Countries, Deep in the Alps!

We begin the day with a morning transfer to the stunning Lago del Predil, an alpine lake set right on the border between Italy and Slovenia. Surrounded by steep peaks and dense forests, it’s the perfect place to start riding. From here, we roll toward Tarvisio, a mountain town where three valleys and three cultures meet — Italian, Austrian, and Slovenian.

From Tarvisio, the route heads toward the dramatic limestone walls of Mangart Range and climbs to the Laghi di Fusine — two breathtaking glacial lakes tucked beneath towering alpine peaks. This is one of those places where photos never quite capture the scale and stillness of the landscape.

Crossing the border back into Slovenia, we enter the peaceful Tamar Valley, riding toward the Tamar Valley and the mountain lodge beneath the Ponca peaks, forming one of the most impressive natural amphitheaters in the Julian Alps. On the way back, we pass the Planica Nordic Centre, home to the world’s most famous ski-flying hills.

Before finishing the day, we stop at Lake Jasna, its turquoise water and wooden piers providing a perfect alpine finale. The stage ends in Kranjska Gora, known for its sporty atmosphere, lively cafés, and panoramic mountain views.

Day 10 - Cycling from Kranjska Gora to Lake Bled

An Alpine Finale on Two Wheels!

We start the day in Kranjska Gora, rolling out on one of the most beautiful bike paths in Slovenia toward Mojstrana. The route follows a former railway line, now perfectly smooth asphalt, framed by forests, open meadows, and sweeping views of the north faces of the Julian Alps. The pace is calm and rhythmic — ideal for soaking in the alpine atmosphere.

From Mojstrana, we continue through the gentle Radovna Valley, where the road winds quietly between old hayracks, pastures, and peaceful woodland. It’s one of the most scenic natural corridors linking the Upper Sava Valley with the heart of Gorenjska, and every kilometer feels effortlessly beautiful.

Arriving in Bled, we’re greeted by one of the world’s most iconic views: a medieval castle perched on a cliff, a church-topped island in the middle of the lake, and soft hills rising behind it. The afternoon is all about enjoying the setting. Options include a lakeside walk, a traditional pletna boat ride to the island, a visit to Bled Castle, or simply sitting down for a coffee and a slice of kremšnita — Bled’s famous vanilla cream cake made with layers of custard, whipped cream, and crisp pastry.

Day 11 - Cycling from Lake Bled to Lake Bohinj

Lakes, Reflections & Alpine Silence!

We start the day in Ribno, following a cycling path past Lake Bled, which greets us one last time with its familiar views. Before long, the route turns into a quiet alpine corridor leading us gently toward Bohinj, with mountains slowly closing in and the pace settling into something calm and steady.

After an easy, scenic ride, we enter the Bohinj Basin, where the landscape opens up to reveal Lake Bohinj — the largest natural lake in Slovenia. Riding along its shoreline is pure relaxation: deep blue water shimmering in the light, alpine peaks reflected on the surface, and an unmistakable feeling of space and quiet.

Continuing past Ukanc, the valley narrows and the scenery becomes wilder. Here we leave the bikes and head out on foot toward Savica Waterfall, one of Slovenia’s most iconic waterfalls. The Savica emerges dramatically through a narrow rock cleft, plunging into an emerald pool below — a powerful and unmistakable symbol of the Julian Alps. After taking in the views and snapping a few photos, we return by van to the valley and head back to our hotel in Ribno.

The road then climbs past Podblica, the birthplace of elite cyclist Matej Mohorič, whose aggressive, attacking style has left a mark on modern racing. From here, the landscape opens into gentle hills and forests, guiding us toward Lajše, one of the most photogenic viewpoints above the Selška Valley.

A flowing descent brings us to Selca, followed by another steady climb over Praprotno, where rolling terrain and quiet roads define the rhythm of the ride.

We finish the stage in Škofja Loka, one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Slovenia. Narrow streets, a lively main square, colorful façades, and the hilltop Loški Castle provide a fitting historical finale to the journey.

A relaxed descent follows through Draga, then along the Sora River toward Medvode, where the Selška and Poljanska Sora rivers meet and naturally guide us toward Ljubljana.

From here, we continue through Stanežiče and on toward Šentvid, joining a safe, comfortable cycling route that leads us straight into the heart of Ljubljana. Arriving in the capital feels symbolic — after twelve days of riding across Slovenia, the journey comes full circle, ending exactly where it began.

  •  a stroll along the Ljubljanica River,
