Dol - Karlovac (SLO-W Loop ft. S&K)
Last day of the tour today, and it looks like another hot one.
I pack my gear and set off earlier than on previous days, hoping to cover as much distance as possible before the sun becomes relentless.
The route follows the Kupa river and soon turns onto a beautiful…

Cerknica - Dol (SLO-W Loop ft. S&K)
Sunny morning without a single cloud in the sky promises another hot day. I pack my gear onto the bike and set off.
The first part of the route crosses Lake Cerknica, which at this time of year is actually a dry field, with only a few small ponds surrounded…

Nova Gorica - Cerknica (SLO-W Loop ft. S&K)
Very hot ride today.
Started from a campsite near Nova Gorica. After a few kilometres on a busy main road, the route turns onto quiet village roads through vineyards. The scenery slowly changes as the route reaches the small Vipava river, which I follow on gravel roads all the way…

Vršić - Nova Gorica (SLO-W Loop ft. S&K)
The day of a big descent.
It's finally time to spend all the potential energy accumulated over the last two days. And what better way to do it than on a long stretch of smooth asphalt?
The descent from Vršič is smooth, fast, and pure joy. Almost 30 kilometres of…

Kamna Gorica - Vršić (SLO-W Loop ft. S&K)
Day 3 of Slovenia West Loop ft. Sava & Kupa.
Departed in the morning, but after just 2 km I stopped in a sunny meadow to dry the tent after the morning dew. The campsite had been in deep shade all morning.
My legs still work. Not as smoothly as…

Near Ljubljana - Kamna Gorica (SLO-W Loop ft. S&K)
Second day of Slovenia West Loop ft. Sava & Kupa.
Started from a campsite near Ljubljana.
Quiet village roads soon meet the Sava again, leading me into Ljubljana. After a short city section, I reach Tivoli Park, where the scenic roads begin. Shortly after a small duck pond, the climbing…

First day of the Slovenia West Loop ft. Sava & Kupa route, from Zagreb to a campsite near Ljubljana.
The first 80 km mostly followed the Sava River and the railway, with beautiful scenery and quiet gravel roads.
Time for a hobo lunch under a bridge. Unfortunately, no strudel this…

Do Kladešćice sa sjeverne strane
Preko Medvednice Markuševačkim makadamom po kiši, uz susret s grupom divljih svinja i nekoliko srna. Nakon sira s vrhnjem, štrudle i Hidre u Hunjki slijedi spust prekrasnom šumskom cesticom do Donje Stubice, pa vožnja sjevernim podnožjem Medvednice prema završnom usponu na Kladešćicu.
A onda počinje prava avantura.
Komoot me vodi…

Kalnikušanje (biciklom oko Kalnika)
Lijepa vožnja rutom Biciklom oko Kalnika. Jako dobar makadam, prekrasna priroda, lagani usponi i brzi spustovi - taman svega koliko treba za kratku popodnevnu vožnju.

Sljemunjanje
Uspon Markuševačkim makadamom do Sljemenske ceste, pa dalje do tornja. Lijepa kombinacija makadama, šume i ceste. Na vrhu štrudla od jabuka i Hidra pa brzi spust do doma.

Putevima ovčjih brabonjaka (Rab dan 2)
Lijepa vožnja sjevernim dijelom Raba. Prvi dio brdovit, uz povremeno guranje po strmom kamenjaru. Nakon toga lagana dionica prekrasnim šumskim makadamom do male izolirane plaže. Kupanje! I onda cestom nazad do apartmana.
