Sykkelferie til Slovenia i boks!

Sykkeltur til Slovenia

26.8 - 2.9, 2013

Her følger opplegget til sykkelturen vår som går til Slovenia i august i år. Vi fant turen på Cycling Slovenia sine websider HER. Turen er en 8-dagers hvor vi sykler totalt 230km og hvor bagasjen blir fraktet for oss. Hotellrom er booket på forhånd av Helia Travel Agency, og det eneste vi har å gjøre er å sykle fra hotell til hotell etter forhåpentligvis forståelig kart :o) Man kan velge om man vil leie sykler eller å bringe egne. Vi drar med egne sykler!

Bled is a world famous town on the shore of a beautiful glacial lake.

From the high plateau at Pokljuka (12 km) you can marvel at the views as you glide down into the neighbouring Bohinj Valley, the jewel in the heart of the Triglav National Park, until reaching the stunning Lake Bohinj.

Day 4: ŠKOFJA LOKA - PREDDVOR (33 km). 3* pension.
