Cycle through the Brda wine region
You don’t have to be a wine-lover to enjoy the wine regions in the east of Slovenia. The rolling landscape in the Brda wine region is perfect to explore by bike or e-bike. A great bonus is that you’ll come across winegrowers on your route, where you can sample the local specialities – and perhaps pop a bottle of wine in your pannier for the evening. The wine is especially good, and excellent value in Slovenia.
Soča Valley: paradise for adventurous cyclists
For more adventurous cyclists, the Soča Valley is a must-visit destination. The winding tracks along the emerald-green Soča River offer the perfect setting for an adrenaline-packed ride. On the Vrsic mountain pass, you’ll be rewarded with breath-taking mountain panoramas. Down in the valley, you can stop off in charming villages for a drink, and of course you can cool off by the clear blue waters of the Soča River.
