Self-Guided Tour 12 - Slovenian Alps Motorcycle Tour
Depart and return when it suits you
Great motorcycle tour around Europe with a slight Balkan flavour.
After the Channel crossing from Folkestone and a ride through Northern France, you’ll spend the first night in the Champagne region of France.
En route to Slovenia you shall enjoy the hospitality of our friends in three and four star biker-friendly hotels in both the Black Forest of Germany and the Austrian Tyrol.
All the hotels on this tour have en-suite facilities, safe parking, swimming pool, bar and their own excellent restaurants.
During your stay in Slovenia your base is going to be a three star hotel situated in a peaceful valley overlooking the Lake Bohinj and dramatic mountain peaks of the Julian Alps.
Your free days can be used to visit the Vintgar Gorge, the caves at Postojina and castles at Predjama and Lake Bled.
On another ride out you may follow the twisty roads through the Triglav National Park and the Vrsic mountain pass to the beautiful ski resort of Kranjska Gora.
Also near by is the world famous ski jumping hill of Planica where breathtaking jumps of well over 200m are often recorded… and they say that us bikers are crazy!
For those with a more adventurous taste there is an opportunity not to be missed - a lunch at one of many local tavernas with an extensive range of local delicacies.
Finally, with two overnight stops you’ll ride back to the UK.
Friendly people, vast forests, dramatic caves and gorges, crystal clear mountain rivers and lakes, historic castles and peaceful alpine villages.
