Why Slovenia Is A Tour De Force When It Comes To Cycling-PR Newswire APAC

  • Written by PR Newswire

Slovenia, a green cycling paradise in the heart of Europe, is a producer of some of the world's best cyclists and most diverse biking trails

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia, Sept. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Slovenia, one of the greenest and safest countries in the world, bearing the Green & Safe[1] label, is a land of active people and extraordinary sporting super-heroes. After the historic success of Slovenian cyclists at the top of the overall rankings at the Tour de France, many have been asking how a nation of two million can be so successful[2]. There are many reasons. Most of them have to do with the individual efforts and skills of @rogla[3] (Primož Roglič[4]) and @TamauPogi[5] (Tadej Pogačar). Many others are explained below.

The love of sports is written in Slovenians' genes.

Slovenia is extremely diverse, offering a huge variety of outdoor activities. It's almost Europe in your pocket. The urban/rural ratio is roughly 50-50, so, nature is just around the corner for most people. Combined with a pleasant climate, Slovenia offers some of the most beautiful biking trails in the world[6] and attracts a wealth of cyclists virtually the whole year round.

Everything is so near in Slovenia and distances between different regions are easily overcome. You can head uphill for mountain biking trails[7], with numerous trails suitable for beginners and world-class cyclists. Some mountain bikers prefer the idyllic Alpine atmosphere and rocky paths, while others enjoy the green hills more. In Slovenia, you can do both[8]. The Julian Alps[9] with Kranjska Gora and Soča Valley, or Koroška region in the Northeast, are some of the most breathtaking cycling destinations, while Rogla and Mariborsko Zreško Pohorje are a paradise for all road cyclers, with a unique microclimate providing athletes with perfect summer training conditions. The TRANS Slovenia route[10] is the most popular among MTB enthusiasts. Adrenaline lovers can visit MTB parks[11]; one of the most popular can be found in Kočevje in the shelter of mighty trees.

There is also plenty of opportunities to discover Slovenian cities by bike[12], or take a ride among wine-growing hills[13] to taste traditional Slovenian culinary delights. It all depends on your personality, but there is something for everyone.

Sport has a special place in Slovenia. This year, on 23rd of September, we celebrate a new national holiday – Day of Slovenian Sport. Read MORE[14].
