After crossing the Alps and leaving Italy, we made our way to Ljubljana along a bikepacking route through beautiful mountain ranges and small villages. From Ljubljana we took the EuroVelo 8 to the Soča River and joined up with the Bimobis route before heading on towards Trieste.
If you’re interested in more route details including GPX tracks, check out our post about bicycle touring through Slovenia:
We’re Andrew and Jenny. We sold all our stuff, built our bicycles, and headed out on an around the world bicycle tour in May of 2021. We started our European tour in Paris, and we’re currently in the Balkans.

Idk what lake that's supposed to be but it's definitely intermittent that's why it's not there. Lake Cerknica had water 30m bellow the surface this year which I believe was a record.
Thanks for taking us along! We are a couple who bikepacking and tandem touring, so fun to go with the one you love. Good on you guys!
"Yea, these are garbage ass paniers" Loved the video. Are earwigs ever a real threat?
Nice videos! All the best from Brazil
oawooo
Beautiful landscapes in Slovenia 🥰 Are you both running Rohloff gear-hubs
What a cool video. I'll go and have a look at your others now I've discovered you. 👍🏻
How do you plan a route like this were you following a designated trail? I'm hopefully going to be brave enough to do something like this next year.
You got same hat I got looks dumb but really works against the sun lol
So, did sidewalk went long enough, all the way to Trieste on Ev-8, or not?
I think I recognize a road you were on, going through Zgornje Gorje, above Bled. Did you get to ride through Radovna Valley? It's stunning.
I absolutely loved Ljubljana ❤️
I am enjoying your videos. It would also be nice if we knew a little about you two. For a start what are your names, what's your relationship to each other, how do fund these trips,. . .
