Embark on an exhilarating motorbike journey through Slovenia and its northern neighbour Austria, where stunning mountain passes, charming villages and breathtaking landscapes await. 

Starting from Hotel Grof, you'll ride through Braslovče to Mozirje and Luče, exploring the lush valleys of the Savinja Alps. Continue to Solčava and the magnificent Logarska Valley, a glacial valley famous for its waterfalls and scenic beauty. Next, conquer the challenging Pavličevo Sedlo (1.337 m) mountain pass, offering sweeping views of the surrounding peaks. Crossing into Austria, ride through Eisenkappel and Freibach, enjoying smooth roads and picturesque alpine villages. Then, experience the historic Ljubelj Pass, a connection between Slovenia and Austria. 

Heading back into Slovenia, ride through Tržič and Naklo, before exploring Kranj and Kamnik, towns rich in history and culture.

Tour Tips:

  • This route includes scenic mountain passes and narrow Alpine roads, especially the climb to Pavlič Pass (Pavličevo sedlo), where the road is narrow, with sharp turns and some rough sections – keep your speed moderate and stay alert.
  • Be cautious of potentially wet road surfaces on the descent into Austria, especially in shaded areas during morning hours.
  • In Austria (Železna Kapla – Freibach – Ferlach), expect lower speed limits and frequent police checks – strictly follow traffic regulations.
  • Before crossing Ljubelj Pass, check for traffic updates or possible roadworks, as it’s a main border connection.
