      Oh a Slovenian! I have questions for you if you don’t mind 🙏

      We’re planning to go there by train next summer, and were wondering if it was a good country to visit with bikes, or if you’d recommend a car rental or just trains?

        You definitely can do it by train. You can also take your bikes on pretty much any train within Slovenia afaik.

        Now there are many nice areas to bike here even though there are not as many bike paths as such. I don’t know what you want to visit and what kind of biking you usually do so a rental car would be dependent on those things. Many places can be reached via train but many more cannot.

        Now if you bike to get around then no issue but if you prefer going somewhere than doing a bike ride that would change things.

          To clarify we either wanted to rent a bike and travel around the country with it + some trains. Or just walking + trains and public transports.

          Renting a car would be my least favorite scenario but I wouldn’t mind if it’s the only good way to visit the country.

          As for things we wanted to visit, Ljubljana of course, and then mostly the countryside and the cool nature places Slovenia seems to have to offer.

          You can also take your bikes on pretty much any train within Slovenia afaik.

          Even ebikes which are larger than regular bikes?

          Thanks a lot!

            Yeah even ebikes pretty sure. Now many nature places can be reached with train and then some biking. But many are quite far from any good connections so until you know a bit more of the specific places you wish to visit I cannot help much
