The master thesis deals with the national cycling connections in Slovenia. It presents the basic concepts, guidelines, policy documents and legal bases related to cycling and cycling infrastructure. The integration of cycling connections in space is a particular challenge when it comes to appropriate interaction between the natural and social characteristic of a place. We presented the design of the national cycling network in Slovenia and the starting points for how the country began planning its cycling infrastructure. The development and implementation of unplanned sections of cycling links should be systematically and comprehensively managed with the involvement of stakeholders at national, regional and local levels. The thesis presents the spatial planning process for the D7 national cycling connection between Sežana and Ilirska Bistrica. Based on selected criteria and indicators, alternative solutions for the cycling route are proposed. Spatial planning of a cycling connection should take into account all aspects of evaluation of cycling connections in terms of site quality, construction characteristics and nature protection. With Spatial planning of cycling connection between Sežana and Ilirska Bistrica, we want to contribute to the implementation of the location and construction of a comprehensive network of national cycling connections in Slovenia.
