Slovenia is among top European countries when it comes to road safety for cycling.

The best thing, however? You can you bicycles or other larger sport equipment safely stored, or even rent a bike in case you didn’t bring one.

Licensed bike guides for extra safe experience

In Slovenia, you can bike throughout the entire country with the same licensed and well-equipped guides due to the country’s small size. You can even have a peak into a few surrounding countries with them if you’d like! What traveler’s appreciate the most, is that you don’t only get a qualified guide for a day or a week but a lifelong friend.

Perfect accommodation spots & travel connections

Not only is Slovenia very conveniently situated in the heart of Europe and thus has really good travel connections to most parts of the world, it also offers good chances for quality accommodation just about everywhere. You can enjoy your mornings amid the mountains, have breakfast by the lake, and dinner at the campsite with your biker friends. We recommend cosy & traditional wooden chalets that will melt your heart.

Friendly locals & fair prices

We sometimes get questions & stories from concerned travelers from around the world about how unsafe and unsure they felt in certain cities, countries, where they were pretty much left to their own destiny while cycling around. It can be adrenalin-packed, I’ll give you that, but it’s nobody’s favourite thing to travel somewhere new & unknown, wanting to do some outdoor activities and is left without a proper guide. At Hike & Bike, Maja & Grega will provide you with their knowledge, get you familiar with local goods and some of the best people in Slovenia, and even make sure you get the best deals around!
