Slovenia Tour
Slovenia
Small in size, but large
in talent, is how Slovenia could be qualified. Julian Alps and eastern
Slovenia have roads and scenery from your motorcycle wish list.
Enjoy winding through rolling back country hills that make riding
exciting and a real adventure, taste delicious food and find out
all about the friendliness of local people.
Rich in resources, naturally good-looking and persistently peaceful,
Slovenia still remains a wonderful antidote to much of Europe's
crowds and high prices. Friendly, mostly English-speaking Slovenians,
beautiful sights everywhere, little traffic and stunning scenery
help to make this an unforgettable week.

Day

Arrive in Ljubljana , ride
to Kamniska Bistrica and meet for welcome
dinner. |
|
Day
2 |
After
leaving Ljubljana we will do some nice
introductory riding in the Alps and cross
into Austria for a while. Riding glacial Logarska
valley back in Slovenia is definitely the highlight
of the day before arriving to our small hotel in
Jeruzalem, surrounded by cenic vineyards. Jeruzalem
was named by the Crusades when the beauty of the hilly landscape
and its wines enthralled them on their way to the Holy Land.

Day
3 - 4 |
On the
following day, we travel through numerous vineyards of remote
eastern Slovenia before arriving to Sezana
from where you can visit Predjama Castle.
Situated in the gaping mouth of a cavern halfway up a 130-meter
cliff, this medieval castle has one of the most dramatic
settings anywhere and was once home of Erazem Lueger,
the Slovenian equivalent of Robin Hood. Next we explore
Skocjan caves, which with their 100-meter
deep underground canyon and many vast chambers
have no comparison in the world and are included in Unesco's
World Heritage Sites list. |
|
Day
5 - 6 |
Visiting
famous Lipizzaner stud farm on the way,
we ride the valley of Soca River, one of
the most beautiful Alpine rivers in Europe, famous for its
deep, almost unreal, turquoise color. We end today's ride
in Bovec, the gateway to Julian
Alps and Triglav National Park. From here go whitewater
rafting, hiking in the Alps, relax by the Soca River or
visit Venice - it's just two-hour ride. |
|
Day
7 |
Snaking
up and down 50 switchbacks will get us over beautiful Vrsic
pass from where we continue to Bohinj through lush
green forests and meadows. Reflected in the still waters
of the gorgeous Bohinj Lake are the imposing
peaks of the Julian Alps, which flank the peaceful villages
and conjure up some truly fantastic views. |
|
Day
8 |
On our
final riding day we explore Bled, indisputably
one of Europe's most beautiful lakes and mountain resorts.
With its emerald-green water, picturepostcard church on
an islet, medieval castle clinging to a rocky cliff more
than 100m above the lake and some of the highest peaks of
the Julian Alps as backdrops, Bled is Slovenia's
most popular resort. Continuing through unpopulated,
hilly countryside we again reach Ljubljana . |
|
Day
9 |
Stroll
through the narrow streets of Ljubljana,
the capital of Slovenia, before heading out to the airport.
