[{"title":"Day 1: Ljubljana","name":"Ljubljana","description":"Zivjo! Welcome to Slovenia. Known as ‘Europe in Miniature’, this country may be tiny, but its diversity makes it a top-notch destination for cycling, with each day bringing something different. Your adventure begins in the country’s capital, Ljubljana, with a welcome meeting at 6 pm. If you arrive early, you might like to take a walk around this leafy city at your own pace, checking out the beautiful buildings, bridges and museums on foot. After your meeting, maybe head out as a group for a welcome dinner at a traditional restaurant – your leader will know the best spots. <br/><br/>Optional Activities:<br/>-<description>Ljubljana - Castle and Funicular</description><br/>-<description>Ljubljana - Zganje Tasting</description><br/>-<description>Ljubljana - Sights & Bites Urban Adventure</description><br/>-<description>Ljubljana - Dragon Bridge - Free</description>","lat":"46.051862","lng":"14.506359"},{"title":"Day 2: Bled Cycling","name":"Bled Cycling","description":"Say goodbye to Ljubljana this morning and drive to Bled – a scenic resort town on Lake Bled. Here, you’ll have a bike fitting and safety briefing to set you up for the journey ahead. Then it’s time to get your wheels in motion! From Bled, you’ll pedal gradually uphill through the mountains, following the low-traffic forest paved road. This route offers plenty to look at – mountain views, scenic stops along the way and a loop around the beautiful Lake Bled. Your final stop of the day is a flower and tree-filled valley, where you can refuel at a popular mountain house. The rest of the day is free for your own discoveries – you may like to explore Triglav National Park, check out the Vintgar Gorge or visit Bled Castle. <br/><br/>Included Activities:<br/>-<description>6 Days Included Bicycle Hire</description><br/>-<description>Lake Bled & surrounds Guided and Vehicle-supported cycling</description><br/><br/>Optional Activities:<br/>-<description>Triglav National Park - Vintgar Gorge</description><br/>-<description>Bled - Castle</description><br/>-<description>Boat tour</description>","lat":"46.051862","lng":"14.506359"},{"title":"Day 3: Cycle Bled to Kranjska Gora","name":"Cycle Bled to Kranjska Gora","description":"Leave Bled early this morning and cycle the scenic route beside the Sava River. Half of the route is a cycling path, and the other part covers the paved roads of Triglav National Park, passing mountains, ravines, lakes, canyons, caves, rivers, forests and Alpine meadows. Your ride today is a gradual uphill until you reach the alpine resort of Kranjska Gora, your final stop for the day.

The support vehicle will take you up the Julian Alps to the Vrsic Pass, known as the ‘Russian Road’, as it was built by Russian prisoners during the first World War. Take a moment to soak up the amazing views, then hop on your bike for a freewheeling descent through winding switchbacks and alpine scenery, down to the emerald waters of the Soca River. Check your speed as the road flattens out and you ride along the valley floor in one of the most beautiful valleys in this part of Europe, following the river as it flows west. Take in the views at the two-tiered Boka Waterfall, then complete your ride at the mountain town of Bovec. With your free evening, you can put your feet up or walk the nearby Walk of Peace trail for a fascinating insight into life in the trenches in WWII. <br/><br/>Included Activities:<br/>-<description>Vrsic pass to Bovec Guided and Vehicle-supported cycling</description><br/>-<description>Boka Waterfall visit</description>","lat":"46.486645","lng":"13.789845"}]
