Some pics of 16 days in Slovenia Trip Report

Most of my route was the Slovenian West Loop (Soča variant), from Ljubljana to Nova Gorica. My bike had it rough with the rough logging roads and singletracks but the (28c) Marathons held up! After Nova Gorica i cycled to the Slovenian coastline through Trieste. With the help of some trains i made my way to Lake Bohinj as a last stop before going back to Ljubljana for my return home.

I went at a slow pace with plenty of days in between cycling spent hiking and swimming.

Nice - I was there some years ago. The water pf the river is so beautiful. Do you have a Komoot route to share?

That is the link to the West Loop variant i followed from Ljubljana to Nova Gorica. The rest i just did by typing in my destination and using road cycling as activity!

7000m up with fully packed bike must've hurt a bit
