Me and my partner are planning to bicycle tour beginning of march all the way from Poland to Italy. The initial plan is to bike through Slovakia 🇸🇰, Hungary 🇭🇺, Slovenia 🇸🇮 and then Italy 🇮🇹.
The plan is to bike around 40-60 km per day. Is that realistic maybe? We aim to keep the cost down by camping 🏕️ and maybe stay at hostels every now and then. Any recommendations on what routes we should take? And regulations regarding camping in those countries that we should be aware of? We are also bringing our trusted companion (dog), are dogs welcome to most hostels in those countries? Any input is appreciated. TIA! Wish us luck 🍀

Italy is pretty lax on wildcamping, unless you abuse it. Slovenia is more strict, but depends where you do it, definitely avoid pitching in touristy spots, or get a bit deeper into the forest. Park rangers typically are after vans, they aren’t gonna look for velo campers in the woods.
South of Ljubljana there is Free Campground “Emberbarn”, which I haven’t been to, but heard good things about.
Hostels I’m not sure, some smaller hotels are dog friendly, but it gotta be a separate room, not a dorm. I think google has pet-friendly filter that works fine.
If you decide to take a detour to Bled, I might be able to host you if I’m home. hmu
lovely dog’s life.
