Savinja Valley – one of the loveliest alpine valleys in Europe
The beautiful Savinja Valley in Slovenia can be explored in many ways on a road bike. Endless routes take you between hops fields, via forest and gravel paths along the Savinja and past waterfalls as you cycle through the unspoilt valley.
Set off on a bike tour on the Solčava panoramic road with its wonderful views or the predominantly flat side roads between Mozirje, Nazarje, Ljubno and Gornji Grad. Cycle trails of various difficulty levels will amaze both road cyclists and mountain bikers, as well as families who will enjoy cycling past the farmsteads along the adventure-packed trails. The heart of the lower Savinja Valley is the home of the green gold of the hops fields, which have been cultivated here for more than 140 years.
