Top ideas for autumn active experiences

Autumn’s here... What of it? The active don’t mind what season it is!

And this is certainly true in Slovenia. You will always find activities to fill your free time. And autumn is no exception. Quite the opposite, in fact: the myriad shades of nature and the more pleasant temperatures are an even bigger magnet for those who like to be active outdoors. Even a cloudy, rainy day can be turned into an active adventure by exploring the world beneath the Earth’s surface. You may have to take a few more items of clothing than in the summer, but you will be rewarded with stunning colourful images and the fertile scents of autumn. So put on your hiking boots, hop on your bike or saddle up your horse and head out into the autumn nature! You might feel like an autumn adrenaline rush, too.

Cycling into autumn

Autumn is certainly not yet the moment to put your bike away. In fact, this is an excellent time to ride across and explore Slovenia. In some areas, temperatures are still pleasant enough to enjoy cycling even in late autumn. It is especially worth cycling in wine-growing areas, where you can hit upon the joyful atmosphere surrounding the new wine harvest. Of course, when on a cycling journey, stop off at friendly hosts and farms, where the locals will be happy to help you recharge your batteries with a good bite or sip made with fresh ingredients, of which there is no shortage in the autumn.

Experiencing autumn on horseback

Why not experience the magic of autumn from the saddle? The best horse-related experiences await you in Lipica, home of the elegant Lipizzaner. Here you can go riding on your own through the Karst landscape, which glows with the red leaves of smoke bush in the autumn, or if you are not such a skilled rider, you could take a carriage ride instead. If Lipica is the cradle of the Lipizzaner, Ljutomer is the centre of harness racing, and it is by no means out of the question that you’ll come across a harness race when you visit Prlekija. Horse riding opportunities can also be found on many farms and ranches.
