A documentary cycling trip through green Slovenia

Get to know what the sustainable path of Slovenia is like in person through the eyes of locals, representatives of destinations and tourist providers.

A documentary that makes you think only green

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!

Take a ride with us on a green path

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.

Slovenia Green Gourmet Route – green cycling with flavour

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.

A green story of Slovenia

Destinations led by green ideas

The mosaic of Slovenia’s green story is made up of individual pieces that form a model of responsible preservation of natural and cultural heritage and attitude towards the environment. The most sustainably aspiring destinations bear the platinum and the golden Slovenia Green label. Destinations with a silver or bronze label are on a good way to follow the green path.

Responsible and comfortable – choose green accommodation

Hotels and tourist farms provide it. Camps, glamping resorts and spas provide it, too. And it is also provided by a range of other accommodation options that not only offer comfortable beds and food, but think more broadly about their place in the environment. With all the responsibility to future generations. Choose accommodation with the Slovenia Green label and contribute a piece to the mosaic of sustainability.

Restaurants with the Slovenia Green sustainability label

Slovenian cuisine is based on ingredients found in our immediate surroundings. Modern approaches to cuisine combine with elements of culinary tradition. Discover restaurants, recipients of the Slovenia Green label, which put sustainability at the forefront in the creation of their specialities.

Park and explore the countryside in a sustainable way

If 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.

Explore green Slovenia yourself

We 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.
