Slovenia is a popular cycling destination, attracting both road cyclists and those who like to cycle off the beaten track, thanks to its exceptional location and rugged terrain.
Whether you want to explore stunning Alpine trails and cycle parks, cycle among the green vineyards of Dolenjska and Prekmurje, or challenge yourself on long cycle routes, there is something for every cyclist in Slovenia.
On 21 May, a new Velenje-Mislinja cycle link was opened in Paka near Velenje. The 9.4-kilometre-long cycle path cost €18 million to build.
