Bikepacking Tours in Slovenia

It has been a very longed wish to be back on the road and be able to explore new countries on my bicycle. 2020 gave us a gap to re-discover home and 2021 has offered us lengthy summer season to get to know more of Europe. Top of our wish list was Slovenia since, we love the Alps, the temperatures seemed agreeable, getting there was possible with the existing restrictions and there is some mystical magic and history evolving around this country which attracted us.We spent 3 weeks cycling around Slovenia during the month of July, completing the famous 'Slovenia West Loop' from bikepacking.com (which we created a Soča variant for), and a self made 'Kamnik-Savinja Alps' Loop which also follows a small stretch of the 'Trans-Slovenia 03' route by the Slovenian Alpine Association. Unfortunately, we didn't find the time to see the inner area of Triglav National Park, but in case you are interested, I'm sharing over here a planned route around Bohinj Lake which we never got to complete. Slovenia has radically changed within the last decade and tourism is very prominent these days. But even though getting the hot-spots for yourself is no longer possible, there are many benefits to this aspect like plenty of options for accommodation, numerous organized activities, and en general, ease of navigation and communication with locals.Considering Slovenia for your next bike tour?
