      Planabweichung I

      May 8, 2022 in Slovenia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Pläne sind dazu da, über den Haufen geworfen zu werden. Wir modifizieren in Ljubljana die geplante Route, nachdem uns das Roadbook-Studium verhieß, dass wir einen Tag früher als gedacht in Istanbul sein müssen.Read more

      Tag 23: Trieste - Ljubljana

      June 7, 2023 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Fazit der 100km, welche ich heute in Slowenien 🇸🇮 zurückgelegt habe: Landschaftlich sehr schön und könnte genau so gut auch in der Schweiz sein. Viele Wälder, Wiesen und Hügel.

      Highlight des Tages war der Besuch der Höhlen von Škocjan. Es fühlte sich surreal an. Wie aus einer Szene aus Indiana Jones oder Herr der Ringe (die Bilder sind heller, als es wirklich war).

      Und dann war es soweit: 5km vor dem heutigen Ziel hatte ich meinen ersten (und hoffentlich letzten) Platten. Mit 4-5 mal Pumpen konnte ich jeweils noch 500 Meter fahren. Dann war Ende und ich ging den Rest zu Fuss zum Hotel. Morgen habe ich Zeit, um das Rad zu reparieren oder es machen zu lassen 😜.
      Morgen fahre ich nicht und erkunde Ljubliana.

      Auf dem Rad: 102 km / 1‘040 Höhenmeter / 5h 35min.      Read more

      B-Day (we missed you Bailey)

      August 2, 2023 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Reunited with Bailey! We spent the day exploring Ljubljana including the triple bridge (which is really just 3 bridges next to each other but apparently it's a feat of architecture), the riverside, an army barracks that the youth fought to keep as a street art and cultural centre when it was decommissioned, and a short photo stop at every billboard with a cyclist (looking at you @Pog and @Rog) on it in the entire city. The city feels more like a big town than a capital city - lots of cycling infrastructure and greenery and a much slower pace than a lot of the cities we have been to so far. We also stopped off at the market where apparently the president comes to do his grocery shopping 🤠 we might have met him but we didn't really know what we were looking for hahaRead more

      The City Of Dragons 🏰

      July 31, 2023 in Slovenia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      I’ll admit, after 3 weeks on the road I’m starting to wear out a little. I jump on the train out of Zagreb and after a bit of a tussle to get a seat I dose off. When I wake up I find myself in a fairytale. Green fields with lush corn grows along the side of the river running beside the train track we’re on. Mountains close us in, with quaint churches perched on the peaks. Hawks soar and dive across the fields. We’re in Slovenia and my goodness is it gorgeous. Slovenia is one of the greenest countries in Europe with forest covering over 50% of the country and it shows.

      As we get closer to the capital city, the spell wears off momentarily until I find myself right in the city centre, face to face with a large stone dragon and staring at a castle above. It’s straight out of a Disney movie.

      Ljubljana, nicknamed ‘the City of Dragons’ due to it’s dragon symbol which was used to evoke strength and courage while fighting off the Turks, is an enchanting little city. They’ve embraced the fairytale image as shops sell all sorts of tourist wares adorned with dragons and castles and for some reason, ladybirds.

      I meet with Nina, born and bred in Ljubljana, she’s a cheery, warm, and bubbly Spanish professor at the local university. She wears blue mascara and a pink, yellow and blue patterned dress which is almost as bright as her personality. I can’t quite shake the feeling that she’d be the ideal person to announce Slovenia’s points in Eurovision… she tells us Slovenia is the only country in the world with ‘love’ in the name and then recounts stories of the county’s poet laureate, and the architect who is credited with shaping the city.

      Unlike Zagreb which was bombed during WW2, during the 90s and has then had to contend with numerous earthquakes, Ljubljana has survived without a scratch. Even during the country’s 10 day war of independence, the city was never bombed directly although the nearby airport was. It’s left Ljubljana unblemished, with beautiful buildings intact and nowadays it’s rather easy to get lost in it’s spell.      Read more

      Faith in humanity restored!

      April 23, 2023 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      A bit convoluted this one, but bear with me.
      So after a lovely walk up to the castle and back around to the city, we came across a lovely little street. We sat down for a beer at a local bar and ended up staying for a couple. We got talking to a few young locals who were sat there, playing chess and having a drink. We watched them play and then paid up and went over to a restaurant over the road for some lunch.
      Ten minutes into the meal the bar tender from over the road came in and said that I had left 10 euros on the bar, and passed it on to me. It turns out that he was a friend of the girl we were talking with and she told him that we had crossed the road to the restaurant.
      So after the meal we went back to the bar and I asked if I could buy them both a drink for their kindness. So he poured some shots for us all! It was like firewater, but great fun.
      This occurrence just reinforces my opinion about how lovely the people of Slovenia, and indeed their country, really are. What a fabulous few days.      Read more

      I ❤️ Ljubliana

      April 21, 2023 in Slovenia ⋅ 🌙 10 °C

      OMG. We've only been here a few hours, but already we are in love. This place is unbelievable.
      The people are lovely (and speak fluent English), the countryside is beautiful, the city centre is like something out of a fairytale, and it is absolutely buzzing.
      If anyone is reading this and is thinking of where to go for a Euro city break then you would be mad not to consider coming here.
      We wandered out of our apartment into the centre (only a minute or so as it is not a big city), and fell into the biggest street food festival I've ever seen. By the look of it, it's a regular affair. Great fun.
      I will post more pics tomorrow, but just look at these for starters.      Read more

      Ljubljana’s Bicycle Commuters

      October 2, 2023 in Slovenia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      Ljubljana is considered one of the greenest cities in Europe. Among its many efforts towards this end is encouraging the use of bicycles to get around. Their weaving in and out of pedestrians on foot often looked rather treacherous - for both cyclists and pedestrians - but we witnessed no collisions. Even parents with little ones, on their way to school, were on bicycles first thing in the morning. Quite impressive!Read more

      Eine Runde um Ljubljana

      July 1, 2022 in Slovenia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      Heute gings auf einen großen Teil des 32,5 Kilometer langen Freizeitweg der dort verläuft, wo Ljubljana während des Zweiten Weltkriegs von einer Militärsperre mit Stacheldraht umgeben war.

      Auf dem Weg, der auch unter den Namen Pot ob žici (Weg am Draht) und Zeleni prstan (Grüner Ring) bekannt ist, trifft man vor allem Spaziergänger und Jogger, aber auch zahlreiche Radfahrer. Einige Abschnitte des größtenteils breiten, bequem zu begehenden Schotterwegs führt durch besiedelte Stadtteile, wo er zum Teil asphaltiert ist.

      Allerdings sind wir irgendwann in die Stadt abgebogen. Denn die Freitage in Ljubljana sind zum Essen reserviert. Von Frühling bis in den späten Herbst sollte man hier sein. Der Pogacarjev trg transformiert in einen großen Essensmarkt, bei dem du dazu eingeladen wirst, frisch gekochtes Essen, interessante Farben und heim- oder internationale Geschmäcker anzusehen und zu probieren. Viele Restaurants aus ganz Slowenien präsentieren ihre Menüs in kleineren und günstigeren Portionen, sodass man sie probieren kann.
      Asiatisch, Paella, Sushi, Muscheln, und und und...

      Leider ist bei 35 Grad im Schatten das Essen zweitrangig, sodass wir lediglich eine Portion Spanferkel probierten. Das war allerdings außen super knusprig und innen zart. Gegart in einem Metallgehäuse zugedeckt mit einem Deckel auf dem Holzkohle ihre Arbeit verrichtete. Diese Garmethode hatten wir auch noch nicht gesehen.      Read more
