Family
A cycling trip for the youngest
Cycling along the river Vipava , enjoying the peace and even cooling off in the pleasant water on a hot summer day! On the way back, stop in Vipavski Križ for refreshments. The trip is also suitable for cycling with children. On the main road, turn left and continue to the small industrial zone, where a signpost directs you. Continue along the macadam road by the railway. When you cross the Vipava river for the second time, you will see several nice sposts along the way, where you can stop. From the village of Male Žablje you can extend the trip to the Vipavski Križ, where the BIKE | STOP | ENJOY point Darovi Vipavske is perfect for a stop and refreshment. You`ll cycle back to Saksida Estate on the same route along the railway.
E-bike
A loop around the Vipava valley
This slightly longer cycling trip takes you through the valley of the river Branica, from where you ascend to the Vipava valley. A view over the vineyards of Nanos and Gora mountain range awaits you. Back to the resort you will return along rural roads through vineyards and experience some of the most beautiful corners of our valley. We recommend a stop at the Bike Point Hiša posebne sorte in Kodreti, a visit to the village of Goče and BIKE | STOP | ENJOY refreshment points: Molendini Summer Bar in Manče and Darovi Vipavske in Vipavski Križ . The trip is more varied and real pleasure on electric bikes!
E-bike
Explore Karst region
A cycling trip takes you to the Karst , which is famous for its stone, Teran and prosciutto . To begin with, the ascent over the Iron Gate pass awaits you , which offers beautiful views over the Vipava valley, all the way to the Alps. When you overcome the slope, you can calmly cycle through karst villages, where you can admire the skill of stonemasons in authentic karst architecture. Follow the side roads and macadam paths to the village of Štanjel , which deserves time to explore. The only thing waiting for you is the descent back to the Branica valley and easy cycling back to Saksida resort . Since the trip is varied, an electric bike will be most suitable choice!
