Lake Bled, famous for its immense natural beauty, together with its surroundings is considered to be one of the most beautiful alpine resorts. It is a perfect start of this unique hike & bike holiday. We recommend you to come a day earlier and book an extra night here as you will love exploring this fabolous place. With its island in the middle of the lake and other natural and cultural sights, Bled will surely amaze you. And do not forget to taste the world wide known Bled cream cake, one of the Symbols of Bled (Hotel 4* or a good 3* hotel).
Day 2

Mt Hut at Savica Waterfall – Mt Hut near Lake Krn (approx. 15 km, 1.150 m ascent, 450 m descent, 5-6 hours)

In the morning a short transfer will take you to the beautiful Bohinj Lake where you will start with your hike. Only a short detour can take you to the spectacular waterfall Savica, hidden amidst the steep walls of the Komarča. Your hiking trail for today continues all the way to the mountain lodge, located just a stone's throw away from one of the most beautiful Alpine lakes. Krn Lake attracts hikers with its wild beauty, nestled among towering mountains, the lonely Lake Krn truely is a picture-perfect 300 m-long and 150 m-wide lake overlooking Mt. Krn. *There are two mountain huts on your way where you can have lunch or a snack. (Mountain hut, meals included: breakfast)
Day 3

Mt Hut near Lake Krn – Mt Krn – Mt Kuhinja - transfer to Kobarid (approx. 11 km, 800 m ascent, 1.200 m descent, 5-6 hours).

Hiking around Krn Mountains is a real alpine hiking paradise. The highest point of the Krn Mountains is Mt. Krn (2,244 m) and although it doesn't stand out in terms of heights, as there are several higher peaks in Slovenia is a very popular mountain and its typical shape catches glances from far away. During World War 1, fierce battles were fought on Krn and Batognica and even today we can spot pieces of barbed wire, grenades and the havoc left by the explosion on top of Batognica. The whole tour offers beautiful views and descent towards Mountain Kuhinja (1.002 m) is relatively simple but a bit long because of the high altitude difference. You can find several rows of shepherd’s cottages, cheese making houses, dairy farms and barns on this mountain. *Just a short walk from the peak you will pass a mountain hut »Gomiščkovo zavetišče« where you can stop for lunch or a snack. (Hotel 4*, meals included: breakfast).

Afternoon cycling is fabolous as well, the cycle route is taking you through charming typical Italian rural villages and countryside. Your final destination today is an attractive town Gradisca d´Isonzo, which was fortified by the Venetians as a bastion against Ottoman raids. (Hotel 4*, meals included: breakfast).
Day 5

Gradisca D´Isonzo (Italy) – Štanjel – Divača (57 km and 805 m ascent).

A bit more demanding cycling day but so rewarding! You will be pedaling through old, quiet and charming Slovenian villages, passing many vine fields.
