Coins Cachés. Julijske Alpe
Slovenia is a true cycling jewel on the crossing of the Alps, Adriatic coast, Pannonic flats and the Dinaric mountains. This makes for a crazy amount of diverse landscapes of rolling hills filled with forests, vineyards, castles and churches, high mountains filled with beautiful valleys, lakes and rivers, seaside with nice cliffs, beaches and mediterranean towns, and some nice flats with thermal pools emerging in the shade of trees and caves.
The very north-west corner of the country is covered by the Julian Alps, the highest and most spectacular mountain range in Slovenia with Mt Triglav as its highest peak and the most important symbol of our small nation. It is the place of our most beautiful valleys, pastures, lakes, rivers and just about everything that you might think of when you think about mountains.
The majority of these mountains is a part of Triglav National park, the only national park in Slovenia. And while we fully support all attempts of preserving the nature as much as possible, there is one downside to that: no cycling allowed on mountain trails!
So we took this limitation as a challenge and tried to come up with the most scenic and challenging routes, on and off road, that you can take and see almost all the best sights the Julian Alps have to offer (and there is no small amount of those either)!
