Cycling

Like the whirling wheels of time, now slow, now fast. Exploring the wonderful Julian Alps by bicycle is a way to understand the value and meaning of time.

Cycling is undoubtedly one of the most suitable ways to travel through the Julian Alps. Maps showing cycle routes are available in every tourism centre. Just as with hiking, the options available to cyclists include both easy and pleasant family tours and the most difficult mountain ascents and descents. The two best cycling destinations are Kranjska Gora and Bohinj. The best way to explore the Julian Alps along the route that crosses Slovenia from north to south or on a circular road tour round the Triglav National Park is by mountain bike.

FIsHING

From the riverbank or in waders in the middle of a stream, with patience and passion we await the duel. Fishing is simultaneously a sport and an art. The wise give life back to nature. It is a question of balance!

Fishing is one of the elite tourist disciplines of the area. The Soča, the Lepenjica, the Idrijca, the Bača, the Sava, Lake Bohinj, the Radovna and a wealth of smaller streams offer over 200 kilometres of prime fishing waters. Fly-fishing, spinning and float fishing are permitted. The most common fish are trout and grayling. The marble trout, endemic to the river basins of the northern Mediterranean, is particularly famous. Fishing waters are carefully managed by angling clubs in Tolmin, Bohinj, Bled, Jesenice, Radovljica and by the Fisheries Research Institute in Ljubljana. A Fly-Fishing Festival is held in Bohinj every autumn.
