04-04-2022

In terms of the Danube Cycle Plans, the Danube Cycling Ambassadors were identified to tell the stories of the cycle transport support. Look who are ambassadors of Slovenia and what their stories are:

In Slovenia, the highest proportion of cycling routes is in the City of Ljubljana, where over 15% of all cycling journeys are completed. Professor Janez Koželj, Deputy Mayor of the City of Ljubljana, tells you how to pave the way for an increase in cycling traffic in your city.

Cycling is one of the key transport modes for ensuring sustainable mobility. The Ministry of Infrastructure is therefore raising the share of investments in cycling infrastructure; over EUR 150 million is earmarked for 160 projects. Darko Trajanov, Director of the Directorate for Sustainable Mobility and Transport Policy, tells you more about this.

Active tourism is one of the fastest growing branches of tourism in the world. Maša Klemenčič from the Slovenian Tourist Board and Luka Poznič from the travel agency TrekTrek talk about where they see Slovenia's potential in this area.

Slovenian professional cyclists are achieving incredible results worldwide. Luka Mezgec and Matej Mohorič share their views on the state of cycling in Slovenia.

We know Boštjan Romih mainly as a TV and radio host, but it is less known that he is also an avid mountain biker. What this sport means to him he shares with us in the video below.

Manca Dolenc uses a bicycle and a train daily on her way to work. He shares with us what he sees as the advantage and attractiveness of the intermodal mode of transport.
