Splendid video! I travelled there about 12 years ago and it was my highlight of Europe, but I only got to spend 2 days on hire bikes. Now I am inspired to go back there with my own rig and get right up into the back roads. As your first trip that will be hard to top, I think.
Awesome route! It was my first bikepacking trip too on this July. I want to come back there soon because I m in love with these lovely mountains and places
Parabéns . Muito bom o seu vídeo. Eu também sou ciclista,e estou iniciando no bikepacking. Que ainda não muito comum aqui no Brasil. Saudações brasileiras.
Hi Nicola, thanks for a wonderful, very "down to earth" video with fantastic shots! And kudos for the music - it really supports the atmosphere of the video. May I ask what kind of bike you used? Is there a list of your equipment?
@@nikolagereci2808 yes, everything. Tent, bags, food, etc. Maybe do a video about your setup? Thanks for documenting this route in this wonderful video - much appreciated.
great place and touring. planning something like this around lake bled. loved your route .but. although you did this tour long time ago. do you remember anyhow to decrease total km form 400- 300. i guess you cycled around 410 km?
Joe Cruz, one of the guys who made this route, says it's possible, but not advisable. Some parts are a little rough, but the route is mostly gravel, so I'd say you'd be ok on a gravel bike.
@@nikolagereci2808 - one more question - is the route sign-posted or will we constantly have to consult our GPS or paper maps when we're coming to a junction?
@@sometimestempersfly no signposts I'm afraid. GPS device mandatory. I even managed to get lost in spite of consulting it every few minutes. But that's the beauty of bikepacking I guess 😅
Well, luckily I didn't know that when I was there, so I wasn't afraid. Ignorance is bliss :). But I also haven't seen any bears while there. Since the route sticks to areas where civilization is always relatively close, I guess bears stay away and only wander through more wild territory.
TaawkTV Travel Family Channel thank you, glad you like it :). Sure it's possible. You just have to remember to have fun and don't hold on to a schedule. Try a test trip, like an overnighter, and see what it's like :)
Wow!!! I was in Slovenia last summer for whitewater Kayaking and I hope come back early for bikepacking. Do you know where find a good track for gps or good information for bikepacking in Triglav National Park? Thanks a lot
Great video. I am riding this route in may. At 2:51min in your video your walking over a small bridge near a stream/cave. Is it somewhere along the route? Thanx
patterickable I'm sure you'll have a great time. The place with the bridge/stream are the limestone caves of Rakov Škocjan. It's a really amazing place, and make sure you definitely visit it. It's near Postojna, and clearly marked on the route map as a POI. It's also clearly signposted along the way.
patterickable Hi, did you make this trip in May? What was the weather? Was it possible to swimm at the lakes or temperature is still low at this month? I decide between May and June. Thanks
how happy were you with the hammock setup? and did you have an alternative when there was a lack of trees? you think you could do tour with a rigid bike with plus tires?
Very happy. Slovenia is basically a one big forest, so there was never a problem when I had to find a camping spot. I would sleep in a hammock if I had to do this tour again. The only alternative I had was a ground setup with the tarp that comes with the hammock, but I didn't have to use it. But, I would also manage if I had a tent. I think both setups are viable for this route. A rigid bike with plus tires would be almost perfect. I rode my trail bike because that's my only mountain bike, but I would have chosen a plus rigid bike if I had one. There is almost no technical singletrack on the route, so there's almost no need for suspension.

Fantastic. Brings back good memories of our stay in SLO!
Wow best bikepacking vid I've seen yet!
Amazing video. Slovenia is stunning.

Another beautiful trip well documented, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful, great video compilation!!
You just decided my next adventure!
Nice footage! Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing
Parabéns . Muito bom o seu vídeo. Eu também sou ciclista,e estou iniciando no bikepacking. Que ainda não muito comum aqui no Brasil. Saudações brasileiras.
Lovely video with great editing and cinematography.
Thanks for share this adventure!!
nao sou muito chegado ao bikepacking, mais por estes lados eu faria mesmo, sao paisagens lindas
I am planning to go to Slovenia this year for bikepacking adventure ;)
Stellar vid, stunning

Thanks Julius! I rode a Norco Sight. Is there anything else you want to know gear-wise?
@@nikolagereci2808 yes, everything. Tent, bags, food, etc. Maybe do a video about your setup? Thanks for documenting this route in this wonderful video - much appreciated.
Amazing!
Very nice video! Hvala!

Thanks, @Nikola, for posting this video. I see you have a MTB. Do you think experienced bikepackers could do this on a gravel bike with thick tires?
Joe Cruz, one of the guys who made this route, says it's possible, but not advisable. Some parts are a little rough, but the route is mostly gravel, so I'd say you'd be ok on a gravel bike.
Great, thanks, @@nikolagereci2808 . I've seen a few videos and I see others using stocky gravel bikes.
@@nikolagereci2808 - one more question - is the route sign-posted or will we constantly have to consult our GPS or paper maps when we're coming to a junction?
@@sometimestempersfly no signposts I'm afraid. GPS device mandatory. I even managed to get lost in spite of consulting it every few minutes. But that's the beauty of bikepacking I guess 😅
Great video! Do you think a gravel bike with 35mm gravel tyres would cope OK with this route? Thanks :)
Buenisimo! Esa Es la vida! Un abrazo desde colombia!
Great video. Slovenia has the record number of wandering bears in Europe. Werent you afraid to camp in the wild in the spring time ?
Well, luckily I didn't know that when I was there, so I wasn't afraid. Ignorance is bliss :). But I also haven't seen any bears while there. Since the route sticks to areas where civilization is always relatively close, I guess bears stay away and only wander through more wild territory.
Bears are mostly in south-east Slovenia. Around Kočevje area, Ribnica…
Great film just loved this. So many beautiful scenes. We are thinking of doing something like this with our 4 kids. Do you think its possible?
TaawkTV Travel Family Channel thank you, glad you like it :). Sure it's possible. You just have to remember to have fun and don't hold on to a schedule. Try a test trip, like an overnighter, and see what it's like :)

Bikes are forbidden in Triglav park
Nice video, great shots. Can this route be done on a gravel bike or too technical?
Some sections require a real mountain bike, but I guess you could walk through them.
@@nikolagereci2808 as long as the sections are not 10’s of km’s ;)
Stari, super si tole naredil!
Nice video. Looks like an awesome adventure. I saw this is about a year ago. Are you still making videos of your adventures? Subscribed. ✌️
There's a new one coming out soon :)
