NOT INCLUDED
The Danube Delta and Black Sea Cycling Tour follows a stunning section of EuroVelo 6, the transcontinental route connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea.
This self-guided cycling adventure takes you along some of the most scenic stretches of the Danube River, starting in Tutrakan, Bulgaria, and ending on the shores of Constanța, Romania.
As the Danube River forms the natural border between Bulgaria and Romania, the journey allows for a seamless transition between the two cultures, enriching the experience with diverse landscapes and local traditions.
As you cycle toward the coast, the landscape transforms into the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, a vast region of salt lakes, wetlands, and open plains, teeming with wildlife.
Before reaching the Black Sea, you will tackle the tour’s most challenging section – the breathtaking Dobrogea Gorges, where dramatic limestone canyons and rolling hills create unforgettable scenery.
This journey is designed for cyclists with a good fitness level, featuring a maximum daily ride of 60 kilometers. The route primarily follows paved roads, with approximately 150 kilometers of gravel sections.
However, the carefully planned route ensures a hassle-free experience, complete with a digital guidebook featuring recommendations and GPS tracks to keep you on course.
All your accommodations are pre-booked, and we take care of the convenient luggage transfers. If you ever need assistance, our round-the-clock support team is just a phone call away.
This cycling region offers all, from Romania’s oldest urban settlement, Histria, with its fascinating Greek and Roman ruins, to the vibrant port city of Constanța, where history meets the sea.

First class company with a well planned route, great accommodation and simply outstanding support in time of trouble. We did a two week ride from Bled to Pula in September 2023. Fair to say we hit a lot of problems courtesy of BA with rescheduled and diverted flights, lost bags, problems with our own bikes, returning rental bikes and more. Daja was simply amazing in helping us sort all of them out and was so accessible at all hours. She even managed to source and buy a forgotten Thru-axle and deliver it personally to our hotel, which is far and above any service i would reasonably expect. Thank you !! Our accommodation was fantastic and far better than expected in all but one location. The route planning in Slovenia was great but due to our decision to bring road bikes from the UK and the nature of the roads in Croatia, our second week was a bit tricky route wise and it would have been good to have had a discussion about this section beforehand. A Gravel bike is far better suited to Croatia although this was our decision to bring road bikes. Transport arrangement and logistics were flawless. Overall, i would change very little and we will definitely be returning to Slovenia. Daja was fantastic and I absolutely recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays and will be using their services again.
Top Company, Top Tour ! We did the 7 days tour (from Alps to Adriatic), from Bled to Piran in august 2024 ! It was the best tour made in years. Amazing landscapes and nature, great accommodations and food and perfectly organised. Daja did really a perfect job ! she was allways available for questions or suggestions ! I would recommend this tour to everyone.
G’day Klem, Back in Australia and just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our holiday. You guys did a wonderful job. The whole experience was first class. The bikes were excellent. The route was fun and well mapped using the app. The hotels were excellent. The hotel staff, outstanding. The food and wine truly memorable. I cannot recommend you guy’s highly enough. Our impressions of Slovenia as an outstanding destination, of beautiful scenery and friendly people will be passed onto all our friends. Thank you so much for a great holiday!
We had a wonderful cycling trip, starting in Trieste, then onto Slovenia and Croatia. Before the trip, Klemen was extremely patient with our many questions and addressed our concerns very satisfactorily- even changing the original bike route to meet our needs. The bikes we used ( e-bikes) were in great condition, and easy to use. The hotels were very satisfactory- and included big breakfasts to start our days. The towns we visited were charming. All in all- a first class experience!!
