The Green Karst in Slovenia: an unparalleled gravel and MTB paradise

In this article, we take you to the Green Karst in southern Slovenia. A region where gravel and/or mountain biking offers you unprecedented opportunities to explore nature in an adventurous way.

  

The Ore Mountains: boundless love for two-wheelers

“Gentle mountains with spirit” are what make the Ore Mountains a dream destination for many cyclists. With winding routes, fast descents, wild forest and woodland trails, or peaceful rides through the flatter countryside along the rivers. Dotted with easier trail sections, the route takes you up and down the mountains, from valley to valley.
