To mark World Bicycle Day, we're at Triglav National Park in Slovenia. This bird’s-eye view takes in riders crossing a narrow wooden suspension bridge over the glacial blue water of the Soča river. Protecting some of the most magnificent mountain landscapes of the Julian Alps, Triglav is Slovenia's only national park, but it's a stunner. Running along its north-west border with Italy, Triglav was first protected as a conservation park in 1924, then made a national park in 1981. It gets its name from the mountain at its heart, Triglav, long considered a symbol of Slovenia and of Slovene identity.
