Experience the vibrant landscapes of Slovenia on the "Secrets of Slovenia Cycling" tour, an eight-day self-guided bicycle adventure from the crystal waters of Lake Bled to the sun-kissed Adriatic coast at Koper. This tour is ideal for moderately active travelers who crave a blend of natural beauty, authentic culture, and exhilarating cycling.
Pedal through traditional villages framed by the Julian Alps, and savor the patchwork of vineyards and orchards in Goriška Brda—Slovenia’s answer to Tuscany. A scenic railway ride whisks you to the emerald Soča River, while quiet country roads lead you to medieval Štanjel and the awe-inspiring UNESCO-listed Škocjan caves. Along the way, sample local wines, discover ancient stonemason settlements, and catch glimpses of the original Lipizzaner horses at the historic Lipica stud farm.
As your journey continues, you’ll trace the Parenzana railway path toward the blue Adriatic, with panoramic views of both the Slovenian countryside and the Italian coast near Trieste. The final leg to the lively port city of Koper and the enchanting town of Piran rewards you with a true sense of achievement, as distant mountains recede behind you.
The tour package includes comfortable hotel stays, daily breakfasts, and all transfers—leaving you free to focus on cycling and discovery. The unique selling point? This itinerary offers a seamless blend of Slovenia’s contrasting regions, from alpine peaks to coastal plains, all at your own pace. It’s the ultimate journey for cyclists eager to experience the full spectrum of Slovenia’s scenic and cultural treasures.
