Itinerary of the trip

Let the adventure begin! After we make our introductions we will take a guided bike tour to discover the city’s unique highlights and introduce you to the story behind the city. To get a real feel of the city, you can opt for a leisurely boat ride on the Ljubljanica River, or visit the mighty Ljubljana Castle with one of the best views of the entire city. Ljubljana is also known as a mecca for foodies, so we recommend trying some traditional cuisine in your free time.

You won't just stare at the mountains that adorn Ljubljana’s cityscape, instead, we will take you to the high pastures of Velika Planina, where you can really admire the views from the heart of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. A unique shepherd’s village located at the top of the plateau will uncover the authentic traditions of cheese making and cow herding in this incredible Alpine setting. You can reach the plateau by foot on a short scenic trail or opt for a cable car. After we take in the beautiful views, we will return back to Ljubljana, where you can enjoy some free time or go wine tasting authentic Slovenian wines.

After a hearty breakfast, we will drive to the Slovenian Coast. There we will begin the cycling tour that will take us through the beautiful Portorož and the narrow streets of Piran where we will explore the city’s medieval history. The route will follow the epic Adriatic scenery and even take us on an old abandoned railway track. We also offer E-bikes that make the tour suitable for everyone.

In the morning we will depart from the Coast and visit one of the most remarkable regions of Slovenia. We will dive deep into the astonishing Škocjan caves, listed on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites, where we will explore the biggest underground canyon in the world. When our eyes readjust to light, we will visit the wine-growing region of Vipava Valley, sometimes called the “Slovenian Tuscany”. A cycling tour will take us around this beautiful vineyard landscape and again, you can opt for an E-bike for an easier journey. After the ride, you can enjoy the stunning views at our accommodation or go to a wine tasting of the award-winning authentic wines at a local winery.

A scenic ride will take us to the mountain town Bovec, surrounded by the mighty peaks of the Julian Alps. In the pristine alpine valley, we will explore the beautiful Tolmin Gorge and hike a magical trail, alongside the Soča river to the scenic Kozjak Waterfall near Kobarid. At the end of the trail there is a small wooden viewing platform where you take some amazing pictures. Another trail that we will explore will take us to Virje Waterfall, a hidden gem and one of the rare karstic springs that never dry up. In the afternoon you can enjoy some free time in Bovec, relax and get ready for the next day.

After a good night’s sleep, we will hike deep into the pristine nature of Triglav National Park and look into the magic waters of the Šunik water grove. Our journey will continue up the spectacular road leading over the Vršič mountain Pass where we will take numerous photo stops to capture attractions like the stone face of the “Pagan Girl” and the wooden Russian Chapel. New adventures await in the alpine resort Bled from where we will cycle to the entrance of Vintgar Gorge, which we will further discover on foot. When we return back to Bled you can take a scenic ride in the traditional Pletna boat to the famous Bled island or even rent a SUP board if you have some energy left.

Full of energy after a tasty breakfast, we will take a short drive to the Bohinj area and take a cable car ride to Vogel, a skiing area in the winter and a hiking paradise the rest of the year. Surrounded by beautiful mountain vistas, the trails of Vogel are the easiest in the Slovenian Alps at such elevation. Enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Bohinj, an absolute pearl of Triglav National Park. If you wish to further explore Bohinj, opt for a hike to Mostnica Gorge, listed among the most beautiful and most visited natural attractions in Bohinj.

Unfortunately, every good thing must come to an end. But although our time together is almost over, there is still one last amazing adventure ahead of us. In the morning we will hike up a small hill overlooking Bled, called Ojstrica, for possibly the best view of Lake Bled, where you will be able to take some amazing pictures and take in the beauty of the amazing scenery. To make your last day as care-free as possible we can arrange a transfer to Ljubljana Airport from where you will leave Slovenia with memories that will last a lifetime.

Some say that the best way to discover Slovenia is on a bike. Others say that you can only get the true experience by going walking. We say, why not both?

Slovenia is one of the most diverse countries in the world and a big part of it is covered by forests and sits on rocky mountainous terrain. That means it is inaccessible with everyday transportation and the only way to discover the country’s true beauty and find its hidden gems is by strapping on a backpack or travelling on two wheels. On this eight-day hike & bike Slovenia holiday, you will discover Slovenian beauty with the wind in your hair and a constant smile on your face.

Our experienced guides will take you from the capital Ljubljana, up to the heart of Kamnik Savinja alps, through the Karst region to the dreamy Adriatic coast and towards the scenic mountain valleys of Triglav National Park. In all of the regions, we have carefully selected the best roads and trails that will offer breathtaking views every step, or pedal turn, of the way.

During our journey, we will discover some of the best-known attractions like the scenic island on Lake Bled and the Kozjak Waterfall in Soča Valley. We will also find hidden treasures along the way and have some unique experiences like riding on an abandoned railway track. We offer the chance of tackling the terrain on electric-assist bikes, which guarantees everyone will get the most out of the experience and adapt to an optimal riding pace.

So whether you are a cycling enthusiast, an avid walker or just looking to actively spend your vacation, this walk & cycle Slovenia holiday is the one for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s simple. All you have to do is write to us. If you want to travel solo, we will arrange the trip, so that it’s just for you. If you are looking for a company – let us know. We will try to find the right travel buddies for you!

On our tours, we want to adjust for your needs as much as possible. That’s why we use a few different accommodations with the same quality. The place of your stay depends on your preferences, budget and hotels’s availability, especially if we travel during peak season. But don’t worry about it! We will inform you in advance of all the details.

We provide transportation between all the locations listed in the tour offer. You can also add a ride to and from the airport for an additional fee – all you have to do is let us know in advance.

Everyone has different preferences, that is why we have decided to give you a free hand in choosing restaurants, this way everyone can eat what they want. We can recommend some places to you, and if you would like to eat at a particular restaurant, we can make a reservation for you – just let us know. The guide will also be happy to tell you where food is delicious. One thing is for sure – you will not go hungry!

A lot depends on how severe your restrictions are. Vegetarian meals are readily available in most restaurants. Vegan and gluten-free meals are harder to find, especially in suburbs, smaller towns, and villages. There probably won’t be dishes listed on the menu for more specific diets. However, you can always call the restaurant in advance or ask on the spot about not including harmful ingredients in your dish.

Slovenia is beautiful every time of the year, but you need to dress differently for each season, so check the weather forecast for your week of holiday before departing. In Slovenia, your guide will inform you every evening about the expected weather for the next day. But remember, weather in the Alps region can change from summer to winter in one day, so we recommend you take extra layers of clothing with you, including a waterproof jacket.

Our company respects the wishes of all kinds of travellers, so we definitely understand if you want to spend time on your own. As long as it doesn’t overlap with the group schedule, you can customize your trip in any way and spend some time on your own. Our priority isn’t rigidly following the itinerary but allowing every guest to feel comfortable and enjoy every aspect of their tour in Slovenia.

The service provided by this company is first class. Our agent, Marusa was superb in terms of her communication, her suggestions and recommendations and brilliant organisation of our trip. Had we tied to organise for ourselves we would almost certainly have missed things out through lack of knowledge. Everything worked so well that we were able to make the most of our first wonderful visit to this beautiful, friendly and hospitable country. We loved it.

Our private Hike and Bike tour was nothing short of amazing! We had a fantastic holiday, and Tomaz, our guide, went out of his way to ensure everything went smoothly. He was knowledgeable, punctual, entertaining, reliable, experienced... the perfect guide! It was a pleasure to indulge in such a breathtakingly beautiful country. Thank you, Ivana and Grega, for arranging our trip professionally and efficiently.

Slovenia Holidays / World Discovery ( travel agent Grega) arranged a one week travel program for us in Slovenia, combining our own wishes of some hiking and nature experiences, some sea-, city- and country-side visits and his own suggestions (Ljubljana food tour, Planina cave spelunking with personal guide, etc.). The process around customising the itinerary and perfecting it went very smooth. He arranged tickets, guides and a rental car, all accessible through a neat app, and the plan turned out to fit very well, including a rental car upgrade to accommodate larger then anticipated suitcases. We had not heard so much about Slovenia beforehand, but it is amazing, as are its people, food, culture and not least its diverse nature, its exceptional gorges and caves.
