Description

Sure, here is the translated text in HTML format: ```html

Day 1: Lake Bled
Individual arrival at Lake Bled. After settling in your baggage, you can dip your feet in the beautiful glacial Lake Bled. This shimmering body of water is famous for the unique island church and the cliff-top castle, all framed by the stunning Karavanke mountains. Bled is one of Slovenia's most famous tourist attractions. You can take a walk on the western side of the lake to enjoy wonderful views, or try the famous local cream cake (Kremšnita) by the lake, admiring the sunset over the mountains.

Day 2: Bled – Bohinjska Bistrica (27 or 43 km; +130/-830 m)
A short car transfer will take you to the Pokljuka Plateau. From here, you'll cross some alpine villages until you reach Lake Bohinj, the jewel of Triglav National Park. Surrounded by high peaks, Bohinj is the largest and deepest lake in the national park. The Savica Waterfall is the source of the lake and the Sava Bohinjka River. A cable car reaches Mount Vogel, from which there is a spectacular view of the Bohinj Valley and Mount Triglav, the highest peak of the Julian Alps.

Day 3: Bohinj – Tolmin (30 or 55 km; +1020/-1340 m)
In the morning, you will have two options: cross the Sorica Pass in the Julian Alps, or take a short train ride through the Bohinj tunnel to Podbrdo. You will then continue through a narrow valley following the beautiful Soča River (the Isonzo) with its emerald green color, reaching the western side of the Julian Alps. Shortly before arriving in Tolmin, you will have the chance to visit the only monument in the world dedicated to military cooks.

Day 4: Tolmin – San Martino – Solkan (46 km; +470/-1410 m)
After breakfast, a transfer will take you to the Kolovrat saddle, a remarkable panoramic point above the Soča Valley. Once a place of heavy fighting during World War I, it has now become a very interesting open-air museum. Reaching the first village, Mrs. Josephine, who lives alone in a well-preserved old-style pub, will be happy to welcome you to her shaded garden. Cycling along the ridges above two valleys, you will reach Šmartno in Goriška Brda, a restored medieval village where you can stretch your legs, sip white wine, and chat with the locals in an authentic village pub. Before reaching the day's final destination, you will cross the Solkan Bridge: the railway bridge with the largest stone arch in the world.

Day 5: Solkan – Karst region (42 km; +550/-370 m)
After leaving the Brda wine region, you will reach Gorizia, the southern Berlin. In fact, the city of Gorizia was once the dividing point between Italy and Yugoslavia. Further along the border, you can visit the world's smallest military museum, a historic Yugoslavian border outpost, and the ancient Monastery of Castagnevizza, the burial place of the last French king. Continuing inland, you will soon reach the vineyards of the Karst region, where you will stay.

Day 6: Karst region – Lipica – Divaccia (50 km; +610/-440 m)
Today you will cycle towards the Lipica horse farm, where you can admire the beautiful Lipizzaner horses, whose delicate and graceful dance has thrilled many visitors. Take a ride in the traditional carriage and get a close-up look at their stables. You can also visit the unusual but interesting War Museum, set inside a delightful Venetian tower and the result of a collector's passion! Overnight in a hotel run by a butcher's family, who is also a maître d' and wine expert and will present you with the best red wines of the Karst region.

Day 7: Divaccia – Muggia (38 km; +350/-780 m)
In the morning, you can visit the fascinating Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO heritage site. Then follows a final descent with magnificent views of the Adriatic Sea before reaching the southern outskirts of Trieste and the ancient maritime village of Muggia, where your cycling day ends. Park the bikes and take the shuttle to the port city of Trieste to visit Miramare Castle, the cathedral, or the central square of Piazza Unità, where you can relax with a cappuccino or an ice cream with a view of the Bay of Trieste.

Day 8: Muggia
After breakfast, end of services and individual departure.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
