Beautiful Balkans Adventure
Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Montenegro
Following
the great success of this tour from our last season, we again
ride to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, adding Montenegro
this time as another undiscovered southeast-European delicacy.
Exhilarating routes will be taken to all the special areas these
three countries have to offer. The route is all on good asphalt
starting on wide gentle roads throughout Bosnia's inland and finishing
with superb coastal riding up the azure Adriatic coast in Croatia.
Both Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina are surely two of the
last undiscovered tourist destinations in Europe. Witnessing the
transition and rediscovering a region of forgotten beauty, culture
and history will reward and surprise even the most jaded traveler.
Make sure you come for a visit before these natural beauties get
overrun by tourists!
