When it comes to mountain biking, Slovenia is often referred to as Europe’s best kept secret. Remarkably, it’s the only country in Europe that manages to combine the Alps, the Mediterranean, the Pannonian Plain and the Karst into an unprecedented natural biking playground. As you navigate through the changing landscape you’re constantly left surprised – every time. You can have one eye on the sea,
then glance in the other direction and feel immersed by the high mountains. Heading up, rising into the forests, you’re struck by the impressive green plains below. From upland meadows the view stretches across into the river gorges. It’s these intriguing opposites and contrasts that have truly become a hallmark of the country. When it’s time to put on the brakes and get off the saddle, you can take walks through virgin forests, watch grapes ripen upon the oldest vine in the world, and better still – taste the best food and wine from both worlds, the Mediterranean and the Alps.
