SloHR13 - Umag - Triëst
This tour finalizes my personal trip from Triest to the north of Croatia and Slovenia. It’s an easy ride, partly along busier roads near Umag and around Triest. If you have more time, take more backroads from Umag and consider avoiding Triest altogether unless you have to go there. The…

SloHR11 - Koper - Umag
Easy route, mostly following Parenzana, from Koper train station to Umag. This is part of a large bikepacking trip, but the weather is going to be so poor so I am going to sit in a resort for 3 nights, with maybe some cycling.

SloHR10 - Zgornje Jezersko - Ljubljana
I was lucky that friends dropped me off at the peak above Zgornje Jezersko! That climb would otherwise be brutal, in both ways, especially with a mediocre trekking bike and 15kg of luggage. The ride is beautiful, especially the big descent. The final part to Ljubljana is a bit dreadful,…

SloHR09 - Rimske Toplice - Ljubno ob Savinji
Tour from Rimske Toplice resort town to Ljubno ob Savinji. Celje is nice for a short stop amd the route is absolutely beautiful between Rimske Toplice and Celje. After Celje, it is a bit of a puzzle to stay away from the busy road, not many facilities for cyclists along…

SloHR08 - Samobor - Rimske Toplice
This is a great ride, long but not exhausting, mostly along the Sava river. The roads are mostly paved, there’s little traffic on most parts, and there are a few water taps along the way (not all of them had water). The part through the industrial zone of Krško is…

SloHR07 - Ozalj - Samobor
This is not the way to go when going from Ozalj to Samobor. The mountain roads in Žumberak are most likely much better, but I didn’t have it in me to conquer the steep climb. Hence, I took the shorter road via main roads. Never, ever drive your bicycle on…

SloHR06 - Duga Resa - Ozalj
Hilly route that crosses several rivers and goes through farmers villages and abandoned villages on the border of Croatia and Slovenia. The route takes as many backroads as possible, but some roads have a bit of traffic. No water points along the way, but many shops can be found. All…

SloHR05 - Bosanci - Duga Resa
Amazing trip through rural unexplored Croatia. Most roads are super quiet. It passes many small, abandonned, charming farmer villages. Road goes up and down literally all the time. Nice picnic spot on the other side of the big river omce you get down to it. Very few refill spots. Some…

SloHR04 - Crni Lug - Bosanci
Ride that follows the Kupa river, mostly on the Slovenian side (this is the only side possible for this stretch), from Brod na Kupi until Stari Trg. The river is so beautiful! Huge mountains left and right and the river calmly in the middle. Few places to swim, no water…

SloHR03 - Crni Lug - Crni Lug via Fužine
Circular tour that visits all the lakes in the area and Fužine. The ride is very chill, not too tiring. Some places along the lakes offer drinks, some are closed. Not the best for swimming imo but at some places people swim. Just the area between Fužine and Lokve isn’t…

SloHR02 - Kozji Vrh - crni lug
Long trip that you can make as long as you please by riding further or less far along the Kupa river. I added that detour because it was easy and nice to drive along the river. 100% asphalt roads. The hike to the Kupa source is added in there as…

SloHR01 - Rakek to Kozji Vrh
Rakek station is easy to get to from eg Ljubljana or Trieste. The ride avoids main roads. About 50% is gravel, but very good gravel. I had no problems with a loaded trekking bike. The climbing is doable, but the final one after the Croatian border is a bit tougher…

The first few km is a steep 10% climb on asphalt roads. Nice to get the legs warm. Then follows a long gentle climb through forests on gravel roads. Some part have very coarse gravel and I had to push my packed bike a few times. Then, towards the top of the first peak the gravel went terrible and I had

This stage is easy and a tad bit boring if you do not visit Blagaj on the way. (I didn't because I visited it before, but it is worth it!) Almost all roads are paved, no places to stock up along the way, there were some places by the river but they were closed (on a Tuesday in September). The part right
