Croatia Slovenia

Starting at $2,400

Croatia Slovenia

A motorcycle adventure riding through the beautiful diverse nature that lies between the Adriatic sea and the Alps. From the sunny coast of Croatia to the snow-capped Julian Alps in Slovenia.

The dissolution of the former Yugoslavia into small entities magnified the differences among the many nations and ethnic groups who inhabited this territory. A mixture of cultures of different Slavic peoples, Germans, Hungarians, Italians, Romans, Turks, Greeks and others each being influenced from their side: Croatia on the coastline has Slavic culture to the east, and Mediterranean influence from the west and south – especially Italy from the other side of the sea. Slovenia is situated on the southern slopes of the Alps, and the people there seem to be much closer to Austrian and Hungarian culture.

The Croatian coast – the Riviera, faces the Adriatic Sea towards colorful sunsets, fragrant seas, blue horizons, and the slopes of the Dinaric mountains to the east with a Mediterranean feel of fishermen villages and semi-dry climate.
A bit inland to the north, Slovenia – divine and mighty regions of wild nature, rivers of turquoise waters, the huge caves of the Karst region, lakes and thick forests, and of course – the Julian Alps towering above.

And for the rides? Absolutely amazing! Some of the roads will simply blow your mind and your eyes will pop out of their sockets! Other roads will take you to remote villages and desolate countryside.
This is a special opportunity for those who are looking for a very diverse trip, with great rides & roads, varying landscapes and amazing nature … but with the taste and aroma of past-time, simplicity, people and culture.

Day 1: Llubljana – Plitvice

Welcome to Slovenia! First things first, lets go grab our wheels! After that, we will head out on a suitable first day of riding.

This happens while approaching the Dinaric Mountain range of Northern Croatia. Forests, rivers, hills and mountains dominate the views around here. We then arrive at the Plitvice Reserve, a place that makes you rub your eyes with amazement and ask yourself if what you see is real or a dream. For the remainder of the day we will ride the routes of the reserve.
