LJUBLJANA, Slovenia, June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The 27th edition of the Tour of Slovenia cycling race was amazing in all of its

glory. In the great 5-day battle, Slovenia cycling ace Tadej Pogacar, who also

won the Tour of France race, once again proved his supremacy and won the fight

for the green jersey.

With world-class partners and under the "Fight for green" slogan, the Tour of

Slovenia is becoming also one of the main events that internationally promote

Slovenia as a five-star destination for active holidays. In partnership with

Adria Mobil Cycling, Slovenian Tourist Board leased advertising space on the

global television network Eurosport for the fourth time already. This has

significantly contributed to greater recognition and reputation of Slovenia as

an excellent destination for active experiences and a country of top cyclists.

The race places special emphasis on sustainability, which strengthens

Slovenia's reputation as a sustainable destination. "Fight for green", the

slogan of the race also this year highlighted Slovenia's commitment

sustainability and urged to protect the environment.

Few countries can compare to Slovenia in terms of natural diversity. Whether it

is exploring stunning alpine trails and bike parks, cycling among the green

vineyards in the Dolenjska and Prekmurje regions, or challenging oneself to

long-distance bicycle rides, every cyclist can find something to suit them in

Slovenia. With all its beauty, concentrated in a relatively small area,

Slovenia offers many wonders that travellers on two wheels can admire (

). In addition, the country also has many cyclist-friendly hotels, hostels,

boarding houses, holiday apartments and other types of accommodation.

that have been rated from one to five bikes.
