A short post, “only” 2 months after our last trip but here are the pictures of our summer bike tour around Slovenia. 6 days cycling with 400km and 6200mD+, 2 days hiking the Triglav and a day of sightseeing in Ljubljana:
1/ Cycling : Villach to Bovec
2/ Cycling : Bovec to Idrija
3/ Cycling : Idrija to Ljubljana
4/ Rest day : Ljubljana
5/ Cycling : Ljubljana to Bohinjske jezero (Bohinj lake)
6/ Hiking : Triglav
7/ Hiking : Triglav
8/ Cycling : Bohinjske jezero to Kranjska Gora
9/ Cycling : Kranjska Gora to Villach
This time around, things are a bit different: our group increased to 7 people, Cédric and I have our maiden voyage with the tandem and bike trailer (a lenth now of 3.5 meters /11 ft – longer than Cédric’s smart car), and we’re starting out with rainy, cold weather and a train to our starting destination.
The plan is to train to Villach, Austria (although the train made it 2km outside of Augsburg so far due to technical problems) and bike around the Triglav mountain in Slovenia. Tomorrow, we will see how fit our group is by biking up to a mountain pass, fully loaded, at 1700m before biking down the Soca valley. We’ll bike to Ljubljana and then round out the trip by summiting the Triglav (on foot) at the end of our trip.
With no more data roaming fees in Europe, I should be able to write an update or two to during the trip.
Cheers!
Cassie and Cédric
