What to expect

Day 1: Arrival in Slovenia
  1. Kamnik
    Pass by
    First you can settle in your chosen accommodation and have a little rest. Then it’s already time to take in the medieval town of Kamnik that is cradled by the surrounding mountains, creating a wonderful backdrop. There is a reception before dinner and a presentation of the itinerary by a local travel agency.
Day 2: Kamnik – Luče and the River Savinja (Route detail: 30 km, + 650 m / – 520m. Transfer to shorten the route available.)
  1. 1h
    First part of the mountain fairy tale:
    Your holidays begin with a bicycle-friendly ascent to the mountain saddle that connects two mountain valleys. Next comes a pleasurable descent along peaceful local roads to the mountain village of Luče that is hidden between the mountains and the River Savinja, one of Slovenia’s cleanest rivers. Your host for this night is local family at House Raduha with one of the best restaurants in Slovenia.
Day 3: Luče – Logar Valley Landscape Park (Route detail: ca. 28 km, easy ascent)
  1. Center Rinka
    Pass by
    A picturesque road takes us to our destination passing several natural attractions including Igla, which means needle in Slovenian and is a 40m tall, imposing solitary peak, separated from the surrounding rock by only a narrow crack. Those looking for the perfect spot to take a picture can extend the tour to Robanov kot, the first of the three valleys in the landscape park.
  2. Rinka Waterfall
    30m
    We will conclude this lovely day of cycling with a visit to the heart of the valley, which comes to an end at the majestic Rinka waterfall.
  3. Landscape park Logar Valley
    Pass by
    Three valleys, three stories of the harmony between people and nature. Many consider the Logar Valley to be one of the most beautiful Alpine valleys in Europe.

  1. Solcava Panoramic Road

    What comes next is the most challenging, but also the most picturesque section of the tour. The ascent to the two mountain saddles can be shortened by using additional transport.

    Descend along the narrow gorge of the River Kokra, next enjoy a break alongside Lake Črnava, and then continue in the direction of the Julian Alps and the Triglav National Park.
  2. Bled
    30m
    The stunningly beautiful glacial lake, the church built on the tiny island in the middle of the lake and the medieval castle rising up on a 100m cliff overlooking the lake are the main reasons that many consider Bled to be one of the most beautiful and exceptional Alpine resorts in Europe.
