Point for cycling

Our house lies in a nice valley, at the crossroads of the Karst region and the Vipava Valley. It would be difficult to imagine a better starting point for cycling. The trail leads through the romantic Karst landscape all the way down to the sea. All this is accompanied by pleasant Mediterranean scents and beautiful Karst villages. On the other hand, the Vipava Valley, surrounded by a hilly terrain, has been long a well-known challenge in the cycling circles. Besides the cycling race Tour of Slovenia, the popular Giro d’Italia passed through this area twice. Our cycling trails feature various levels of difficulty. We also hosted professional cycling teams. And finally – the cycling season thanks to the favourable climate and mild winters is open all year around.

Our guests have the possibility to rent bicycles from us or even directly with quick application procedure. With our colleagues https://www.rockvelo.com/ we can assure you great experience!
