The village of Planina makes an excellent starting point for numerous cycling routes through the Vipava Valley. From here, you can go to the top of the Nanos or Čaven plateaus, admire the beauty of small villages nestled among vineyards, or enjoy a scenic route along the Vipava river. You can set out with a regular bike, but we recommend using an electric bike. This way, you can cover longer distances, tackle steeper climbs, and see even more of our beautiful valley.
For bicycle rentals, both electric and mountain bikes, the best way is to contact two nearby agencies Rock Velo or Wajdusna rent a bike.
You can find all cycling routes on the map at the following link, which includes a detailed description of each route: Bicycle routes through the Vipava Valley. Our recommendations are listed below.
