Giro veloce in bici da Solkan a Nuova Gorizia

This short and easy cycling route takes you from Solkan to Nova Gorica, two towns nestled right near the Italian border in western Slovenia. Starting in Solkan—famous for its impressive stone railway bridge, the largest of its kind in the world—you’ll cover just under 2.4 kilometers, making this ride perfect for a quick trip or a relaxed spin.

Most of the journey is on smooth asphalt, winding along a mix of quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, with very gentle hills (you’ll barely notice the 12-meter ascent and descent). You’ll skirt through peaceful residential areas and maybe catch a glimpse of the emerald-green Soča River.

Your destination, Nova Gorica, is known as Slovenia’s “New Gorizia,” and is full of open squares, parks, and a lively café culture. The ride is straightforward, safe, and offers a nice way to connect these two vibrant towns without breaking a sweat. Grab your bike, enjoy the scenery, and maybe treat yourself to a gelato when you arrive!
