Only ever been to Slovenia in the winter. I learnt to ski in Kranska Gora in 1976 when it was still Yugoslavia. I took my son there in 1999 and 2000 when he was 3 and 4 because Slovenia was one of the few places they would take 3 year olds in ski school. Lovely country and lovely people, oh and fantastic value for money. Really looking forward to seeing the rest of this video

I've been there couple of times as a kid since we were part of the same country and my old man was working there for a few years. You remember the old Yugoslavia... Slovenia was always just like Lithuania was in USSR, posh country and they mostly escaped the horrid war that followed. It's on my list to ride there, visit the place where my dad worked on a castle reconstruction, Slovenj Gradec. Beautiful place... Cheers!

Cos its the only country they cant get lost in." "If entire Slovenia was underwater it would have been the smallest lake in the world". Slovenian sea is so small that Slovenians jump in one by one". "Why did Slovenia enter EU? Because austrians needed parking spaces". "How Slovenians measure motorbike acceleration? 0-to border" ... etc :-) Joking aside, definitely one the nicest places I have ever been to, lovely people and stunning scenery, highly recommended. Thanks for the vid.

A pretty part of the world, hardly a flat road anywhere. I've been to Slovenia a number of times, even when it was still part of the Yugoslavian entity. It was easily the most "Western" member of the Yugoslav group of nations. I recall one year riding from Austria through the Slovenian Alps in winter, down to Zagreb. That was a real eye opener.

Finally a new tour! Slovenia is a lovely country (close to mine and with somewhat similar language) and I've actually been riding through it just a few months ago when I was taking my EU trucker's exam. Obviously, I've only ridden to and from Ljubljana but I took the scenic route through the country rather than the motorway and I loved it. Looking forward to seeing more of Slovenia, even if only on my computer screen (for now haha). I definitely plan to take a nice, extensive tour of Slovenia as soon as I'm setup there (to work for a Slovenian trucking company). Btw, the way you pronounce Ljubljana is hilarious! lol :D

That Saturday in Podčetrtek, where you were drinking coffee, my wife and I just stoped for coffee at the near table. I was looking at you and tought to my self that it can't be you. Than my wife asked if that guy there looked a lot like the motorcyclist I follow on KZbin. I replied to her that this was impossible because if she thinks of the same guy, that one is a celebrity and wouldn't choose our back roads to fancy Spanish destinations :)

Slovenia has always been a nice place. There is a video on KZbin - "Slovenia on BBC 1994". It's not much different from similar videos made today, a quarter of a century later. Beautiful towns and villages, nice houses, decent infrastructure. I was a kid in the 1970s, and it was a nice life. We lived in a nice family house, had a nice car, spent long summer holidays on the Adriatic coast, and went on road trips all over Europe. My dad hated the communist regime with a passion, and was always telling jokes about the politicians. In particular, one very fat politician named Stane Dolanc was the butt of many jokes. 1980s were not so good in former Yugoslavia. Economy collapsed, inflation was through the roof, and political tensions started brewing. Slovenian nation decided it was time to get out, and Slovenia became an independent country in 1991. Things improved quickly, and life became very enjoyable again. I've seen the world, and I think this is one of the nicest countries to live.

Love Slovenia. Riding there again in May, this time on my Yamaha Townmate (yes, it will take 8 days but I have plenty of time). Planning to do the Russian Road as well.

Lovely that you've made it to the country of my ancestors. Some people have called Slovenia the "little jewel of Europe" as it has a lot of Europe's climatic zones in a small area. From the alpine North to the Mediterranean South (yes, the Adriatic sea is part of the Mediterranean), the Austrian influenced North to the Venetian South, you can travel through a wide variety of nature within a single day. Yugoslavia by the way, was not part of the Eastern bloc or behind the Iron Curtain. It was indeed a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement (together with India) which represented 120 countries and 55% of the world's population. People were able to travel freely to and form there and tourism from Western Europe was a big source of income back in the 80s already (a big draw were the many nudist beaches and hotel resorts). You were correct with the pronunciation of "č" which is indeed pronounced like "tch". Hope you've got to see some of the most famous landmarks such as the Triglav mountains, lake Bled, the Soča valley, the Postojna caves, and the ancient Venetian city of Koper.

The Crosstourer is just THE BEST bike for that stuff. Did the Picos 2 up in the spring-superb! Have fun in Slovenia, it’s a beautiful country.

Still bouncing around the older videos. As this one was filmed about a year ago... I'm am really enjoying watching this. I hope Martin is managing during this time as well as David (PETER!) and the gentleman who runs the hotel.
