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.

    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.

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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,. . .
