Route 01
The Ridge Panorama
0 km0 m3.5 hModerate
The classic Brda ridge ride: climb to the Gonjače tower, coast through walled Šmartno and chase horizon after horizon along the crest.
Adventure
Don't just see Brda. Ride it. Walk it. Explore it.
E-bike between vineyards, walk from village to village, climb the tower that sees from the Alps to the Adriatic.
Brda is best experienced at cycling speed — slow enough to smell the cherries, fast enough to see it all.
Ride
Two wheels, endless hills
Brda is built for e-bikes: wine-friendly distances, quiet gravel ridges, and a cellar door at the end of every climb.
Route 02
Cellar to Cellar
0 km0 m2.5 hEasy
A gentle valley spin linking three family cellars — ride twenty minutes, taste, repeat. Mostly flat valley roads, fully delicious.
Route 03
Borderlands Loop

The long one. Quiet lanes straddle the Italian border through forgotten hamlets, with the biggest climbs and the emptiest roads.
