1st Dolenjska Brevet: Cycling Through Dolenjska
You are invited to the 1st Dolenjska Brevet, Cycling Through Dolenjska, which will take place on Saturday, 9 May 2026, between 9:00 and 19:00, with the start and finish at the Main Square in Novo mesto.
This cycling experience connects 12 municipalities in the Dolenjska region included in the cycling guide Cycling Through Dolenjska (S kolesom po Dolenjski): Novo mesto, Šentjernej, Šmarješke Toplice, Škocjan, Mokronog-Trebelno, Mirna, Šentrupert, Trebnje, Žužemberk, Mirna Peč, Straža and Dolenjske Toplice.
The route is just over 200 km long and includes approximately 2,500 metres of elevation gain. It is composed of sections that are already part of the cycling guide.
The ride is designed so that individuals can join for the entire route or only a selected section. Two groups are planned: a faster group (brevet, 200 km) and a slower (touring) group. Participants will have access to a GPX track, a support vehicle for assistance, and short refreshment stops along the route.
Participation is free of charge; however, registration is mandatory – via the link.
The cycling event is organised by Rok Popovič, a licensed cycling guide and enthusiast, in cooperation with the Novo mesto Development Centre and the Dolenjska tourist destination.
