Pedal through the heart of Flanders on a self-guided cycling adventure featuring Bokrijk’s Cycle Through Water, Bosland’s treetop path, and the wooden cycling bridge of Mechelse Heide.
You’ll ride past the canals of Dessel, the floating staircase of Vlooybergtoren, and explore Belgium’s stunning landscapes, medieval towns, and vibrant cities.
Flanders is a cyclist’s paradise, known for its well-maintained paths, diverse landscapes, and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're gliding across wooden bridges, cycling through water-level pathways, or savoring local Trappist brews, every turn of the wheel brings discoveries you won't find anywhere else in the world.
This journey offers a perfect balance of nature and culture, taking you through the striking heathlands of Hoge Kempen National Park, past centuries-old abbeys, and into lively cities like Antwerp and Leuven.
The route includes hilly stretches with gentle ascents on quiet rural roads, occasionally passing through forest and agricultural tracks. It is ideal for active travelers seeking a self-guided, moderately challenging ride, as well as history enthusiasts and beer lovers.
We handle the logistics so you can focus on the ride. From booking your stays to providing GPS navigation, a digital guidebook with a detailed personalized itinerary, luggage transfers, and on-call support, we ensure a smooth, stress-free experience.

First class company with a well planned route, great accommodation and simply outstanding support in time of trouble. We did a two week ride from Bled to Pula in September 2023. Fair to say we hit a lot of problems courtesy of BA with rescheduled and diverted flights, lost bags, problems with our own bikes, returning rental bikes and more. Daja was simply amazing in helping us sort all of them out and was so accessible at all hours. She even managed to source and buy a forgotten Thru-axle and deliver it personally to our hotel, which is far and above any service i would reasonably expect. Thank you !! Our accommodation was fantastic and far better than expected in all but one location. The route planning in Slovenia was great but due to our decision to bring road bikes from the UK and the nature of the roads in Croatia, our second week was a bit tricky route wise and it would have been good to have had a discussion about this section beforehand. A Gravel bike is far better suited to Croatia although this was our decision to bring road bikes. Transport arrangement and logistics were flawless. Overall, i would change very little and we will definitely be returning to Slovenia. Daja was fantastic and I absolutely recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays and will be using their services again.




Top Company, Top Tour ! We did the 7 days tour (from Alps to Adriatic), from Bled to Piran in august 2024 ! It was the best tour made in years. Amazing landscapes and nature, great accommodations and food and perfectly organised. Daja did really a perfect job ! she was allways available for questions or suggestions ! I would recommend this tour to everyone.




We had a wonderful cycling trip, starting in Trieste, then onto Slovenia and Croatia. Before the trip, Klemen was extremely patient with our many questions and addressed our concerns very satisfactorily- even changing the original bike route to meet our needs. The bikes we used ( e-bikes) were in great condition, and easy to use. The hotels were very satisfactory- and included big breakfasts to start our days. The towns we visited were charming. All in all- a first class experience!!




Europe Cycling Holidays organized a customized, self-guided road cycling trip for my husband and I from Ljubljana to the Julian Alps and ending in Piran in Slovenia. At the beginning of the organizing process, I used their ZOOM mtg option to ask a lot of questions and determine what we wanted e.g. hotels, room upgrades, routes, etc. With follow-up emails over the next few weeks, and fixing a few glitches that arose, we were excited for our 10-day trip. And we were NOT disappointed! Our trip was amazing. The rental bikes, hotels, GPX files, scheduled luggage transfers, detailed itinerary in an app (including restaurant suggestions, GPS profiles, bike shops en route, luggage pickups), etc. were all amazing. The country of Slovenia is incredibly beautiful and we enjoyed the challenges of the routes in the Alps, the serenity of Lake Bled, the spectacular scenery of Goriška Brda wine region, and everything in between. We had quick responses via WhatsApp from Customer Service for any issues we had during our trip e.g. organizing a van transfer on a day we decided not to ride due to a fall and bad weather. Overall, we had a great experience in Slovenia and highly recommend Europe Cycling Holidays.
