You probably already know our green Slovenia. And even if you don't, you now have the opportunity to discover in an empirical way through a promotional documentary why Slovenia was the first country in the world to get the title of a green destination as a whole. You will learn that it is truly green. Literally, in the colours of its endless forests and meadows, and figuratively, in the effort of the locals for it to remain so.
The young Slovenian actor Aliash Tepina rolled up his sleeves, hopped on his bicycle and, in the company of a film crew, shot a half-hour documentary that takes you to all "corners" of our green story along the cycling paths of the Slovenia Green Gourmet Route. As seen by locals, destination representatives and tourism providers who have taken the sustainable route. Are you ready for a ride with us? Let's go!
"Our plan was to keep the film shorter, but after the shooting ended, it turned out that it really needs to be longer for the story to develop nicely. A sustainable rhythm needs more space than some standard promotional content."
Aliash Tepina, the protagonist of the Slovenia Green documentary film
The Slovenia Green Gourmet Route is an 11-days cycling journey around Slovenia. You will visit places and accommodation facilities that have attained the Slovenia Green certificate, eat top-quality local food without being troubled by your conscience as you’ll burn the calories consumed on the very next day. You will travel in an environmentally friendly way – by bicycle! And a little bit by train.
The promotional documentary film gives you the opportunity to get to know different locations and providers who live in a sustainable spirit. And some are especially memorable, aren't they?
Did you know that the family of recipients of the Slovenia Green label already has more than 200 members? There are 58 tourist destinations among them. You can get to know some of these destinations on the cycling journey shown in the documentary film. Let us help you find these destinations.
Time stops in the countryside. There, you get the opportunity to truly connect and coexist with nature. On his documentary cycling journey, Aliash Tepina also visited some farms and estates that are totally focussed on sustainability. Let's remember which ones he visited.

MoreIf you decide to stay at a location or camping site for several days, you can give your motorhome some "rest" and choose a sustainable way of exploring the surroundings. Hop on a bicycle, take a trip to the city and explore its sights by public transportation, or perhaps it may be easier to rent an electric car and cruise the surrounding area.
MoreWe have revealed only a tiny part of green Slovenia to you. For your pleasure. So that you will continue to explore it yourself with even greater enthusiasm. From the mighty mountains to the blue sea, from the Pannonian plains and hills to the mysterious Karst.
