Green Border Gravel
Green Border Gravel is a self-supported 300 km gravel adventure through the remote southern borderlands of Slovenia, following the natural flow of forests, ridgelines, and quiet border roads along the Slovenian-Croatian frontier. With 7,000 metres of elevation gain and 70% unpaved terrain, it is a true wilderness challenge for experienced gravel riders.
