The tour will take you through the <\/span>best cycling trails in Slovenia<\/b>, with a chance of checking out many famous landmarks on the way.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe tour will take you from the <\/span>capital city of Ljubljana<\/b>, through the wooded hills above \u0160kofja Loka, into the heart of the <\/span>Julian Alps<\/b>. From there, you will cycle through <\/span>Alpine valleys,<\/b> cross a <\/span>panoramic mountain pass<\/b> and follow the emerald river <\/span>So\u010da Valley <\/b>into the Mediterranean climate and its <\/span>wine-growing hills of Gori\u0161ka Brda<\/b>.
