Some say that the best way to discover Slovenia is on a bike. Others say that you can only get the true experience by going hiking. We say, why not both?

Slovenia is one of the most diverse countries in the world and a big part of it is covered by forests and sits on rocky mountainous terrain.

On this eight-day hike & bike Slovenia holiday, you will discover Slovenian beauty with the wind in your hair and a constant smile on your face.
