Bicycling Around Slovenia
Slovenia has one of the best-marked biking networks that we have ever seen. During our two weeks, we saw Mountain Bikers, casual riders with upright handle bars, pelatons of racers (especially on weekends), and riders with dogs in their straw baskets...just taking their time, enjoying the day.
Walking to Bled from Rudovna, we passed by a large sign detailing a cycle route in that area, and the various stages of it. It seemed as if there was no limit to the amount of biking a person could do.
Kranjska Gora has over 150 km's of marked cycling trails, and there is a cycling tour through all three countries. For a truly compulsive athlete, think of joining the Race to Vrsic on the first Saturday in September. This race attracts more than 1,000 cyclists who race up the steep slopes that lead to the top of the mountain pass. Sound like fun?
