SLOW-VÉNIA

SLOW-VÉNIA Every year it's the same story, well, almost the same. The PCR GRAVIER group - let's call it a collective - plans a trip abroad to go hikingcycling. This year they decided to visit Slovenia. On paper the country looks fully recreational : 60% of the territory is covered by forests, you can find more than 800 animal species (including bears and many beavers) and with only 2 million people in the whole country, traffic is likely to be at record lows.... Good times are ahead!Based on our past mistakes, we decided to lower the sail by reducing the number of kilometres covered per day. This is not a race and we decided to to cross Slovenia as slowly as possible! The objective: maximize the fun, triple our photo-to-km ratio and who knows, maybe pitch our tents in daylight.We can report that the trip was productive. We discovered a lot during those 8 days of roaming. So here are the 10 things that we’ve learned in 'Slowvénia'.1. Carrying 8 bicycles by train is always easy… Well on paper! 2. Crossing a communist gathering after 30km of cycling is always a good idea3. The ascent of Mount Stole is as hard as it is beautiful4. The soča river is very very blue but also really, really cold5. Sheep are giving free hugs at the top of the Vrsic Pass6. Reducing the number of kilometres means increasing your chances of pitching your tent in daylight by 200%7. Long-distance hiking trails are still not intended for bicycles8. Technology is good, but (waterproof) paper maps are still better9. Slovenia holds 99% of the world's greatest gravel10. In Slovenia, we discovered excellent food and beverages, trust us !Photography: Simon Taulelle and Renaud Skyronka
