The guided cycling tour along the Podzemlje Pece, Tourist Mine and Museum in Mežica.
After its closure in 2004, the Mežica lead and zinc mine was turned into Podzemlje Pece, Tourist Mine and Museum which was nominated for the European Museum of the Year Award 2007. First notes about lead ore in this area are from 1424 and the first written sources about mining under the Mount Peca are from 1665. The old mine administration building of 1927, located in front of the mine entrance, has been converted into a museum with a number of collections (a mining exhibition and the collection of Maks Kunc, miner and photographer).

The town of Bled with its idyllic island situated in the centre of the lake is one of Slovenia's major tourist attractions from a natural and historic point of view. The picturesque Bled Castle standing on the cliff towering over the lake below, with the high Julian Alps rising in the background can be seen in every brochure on Slovenia. Built by the Bishops of Brixen and first mentioned in documents in the year 1011, the castle will celebrate its 1000 year anniversary in 2011. Since 1957 the Museum at Bled Castle offers an overview of the eventful history of Bled from the time when the first settlements in the area appeared to the present day.
