As a green destination, Slovenia is a perfect choice for an activity holiday. You can choose from a wide selection of hiking, cycling and rafting organised tours, or you can take long walks on numerous walking and biking trails. Here are a few ideas where to go for sports holiday in Slovenia:

Hiking

You can choose from more than 10.000 km of marked walking and hiking trails all over the country. The best areas for walking are:

– Julian Alps and Triglav National Park with the highest mountains in Slovenia offer numerous possibilities for hiking. The views are breathtaking wherever you go. Check my favourite places: Bohinj lake, Pokljuka plateau (an excellent spot in winter for cross country skiing), Bled Vintgar Gorge,

– Velika planina near Kamnik,

– Pohorje plateau in the East of Slovenia,

– Logarska valley in the Kamnik Alps,

– Hilly region of Dolenjska.

Cycling and mountain biking

In the breathtaking Alpine valleys, around the misterious glacial lakes, over the sunny vineyards hills, through the picturesques villages, with a guide or on your own:

– Bled and Bohinj lakes,

– Mojstrana – Kranjska gora,

– Karst region,

– Adriatic coast,

– by the Kolpa river in the South.
