Biking from Tržič to Ljubelj Pass: A Ride Worth Remembering

The day before, on a Friday, I accepted an invitation for a ride. One of my friends had sent me the map, and another was joining us too. At first, I was hesitant—I know the main road from Tržič to Ljubelj Pass, and it isn’t exactly bike-friendly. But after looking at the map again, I decided to give it a go.

Thankfully, this was a group adventure. …

A Scenic, Family Friendly Bike Ride

It was a Friday and a national holiday, so we decided to make the most of the long weekend with another family bike trip. Our destination: Nomenj to lake Bohinj - a quick 10-minute drive by car, but the bike ride itself is the real treat. If you park in Nomenj at P+R Nomenj and hop on your bike, you’re in for a gorgeous greenbelt ride all the way …

A Quiet Bike Ride Through the Hills

Some mornings just feel like they’re inviting you outside. This one was like that—clear skies, air still cool from the night, the sun promising warmth but not yet in a rush. I decided it would be a perfect day for a ride. And, since I like my adventures with a dash of practicality, I gave the trip a purpose: ride from Tržič to Begunje to pick up a …

Walking the Circular Path Around Brdo Estate

If you’re ever in the mood to clear your head and just happen to be passing by city Kranj, I suggest a 10K walk that feels like a reset button.

Brdo Estate might be known today for its landscaped park, hotel, protocol meetings, football and official gatherings, but what I love most about it is what surrounds it: a gravel path that loops all the way …

Summer Day Hike in Italy

A Saturday that felt like a vacation took us to Italy, to Valbruna, where we began our ascent to Rifugio Pellarini, and then ventured a bit further over the pass to catch a glimpse of the other side.

The journey starts in Tarvisio and continues on to Valbruna. Along the road, you eventually pay for parking, which marks the trailhead. At first, the …

Another Old Railroad Turned Bike Path

There are several greenbelts in Slovenia. What I mean by that is organized, secluded roads, mainly apart from the motorways, for safe, beautiful bike travel. Many of them follow old train tracks, like the one that stretches from Velenje to Slovenj Gradec, and it is absolutely wonderful.

We decided to take a family day, do something different, and …

About this Blog

slowonder is a collection of small journeys — walks, bike rides, daily wanderings, and wonders in different places. Strava serves as an orientation, not a competition.

If you’re looking for “10 best…” style blog posts, this isn’t the place. Here, there are no rankings, no rush, no pressure to buy into anything.

This is a space for slowing down. For breathing. For finding wonder in the ordinary. For remembering that becoming ourselves happens not in doing more, but in simply being.
