Pearls of Slovenia: Bled-Kranjska Gora-Bled
This cycling holiday is a must for those who crave stunning mountain scenery without the extreme physical exertion typically required for such views. Though not a “mountain bike tour,” it’s perfect for cyclists of average fitness. The route includes just one gentle pass of 750 m (2500 ft), easily manageable within a day on a quiet road—or you can opt for a lift to the top. This circular route starts and ends at the breathtaking Lake Bled, offering some of the best northern Slovenia has to offer.
On this self-guided cycling tour, you’ll discover the beauty of Triglav National Park, staying in hotels with exquisite mountain views and cycling across scenic meadows. Cool off with a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear Bohinj Lake, a pristine glacial lake set against the backdrop of the Julian Alps. Take a peaceful stroll through the stunning Vintgar Gorge, where thundering rapids carve their way through the canyon. Don’t miss the chance to visit the picturesque island church in Lake Bled, where you can ring the famous “Bell of Wishes”, and cap off your day with a well-earned traditional cream cake.
This route is perfect for cyclists looking for a relaxed yet active holiday that showcases the natural wonders of Slovenia without demanding extreme effort. You’ll have plenty of time to soak in the beauty of Lake Bled, known for its enchanting surroundings and fairytale-like charm, making this an unforgettable cycling experience.
£70 per person off all September and October dates!
Itinerary
After making your way to Bled, enjoy this famous fairy-tale town situated on the sides of a glacial lake. There is a beautiful island church sitting amongst the water, and the backdrop is made up of gorgeous mountains.
Take your pick of what you do for the afternoon; opt for a hike, enjoy the scenery, or visit the church and ring the church bell!
Your journey will start with a car transporting you to the high plateau at Pokljuka. This point gives you amazing views down into the Bohinj Valley, sitting proudly in Triglav National Park. Pedal on down via numerous alpine villages dotted around the area until you get to Ribčev Laz (Fisherman’s Pass), which sits next to the gorgeous Lake Bohinj.
From here, head to Savica Waterfall, which is the source of the Sava Bohinjka River. You can also take the cable car up to Vogel Mountain for an amazing view of the Bohinj Valley and Mount Triglav, which is the highest point in the Julian Alps. Enjoy the gorgeous surrounding scenery of forests, followed by an evening in one of the quaint village pubs, accompanied by a glass of homemade honey brandy.
As you say goodbye to Bohinj, you’ll be accompanied by the views of the Julian Alps in the background. Up next is a bit of a climb to the Jelovica high plateau (there is also a lift to help you up, should you need it). Once you’re up there, the route goes via deep forest, which then goes down into the Selška Dolina Valley and the Škofja Loka hills.
Take your first break of the day in Sorcia, an area set amid low green hills and the birthplace of Slovenian painter Ivan Grohar. To commemorate him, you can visit a local gallery with a limited collection of his work. After this, you will be stopping in Železniki, an iron-smelting town and home to an old blast furnace from 1826. On route, you can also stop at a local village inn and try yummy local trout. Your destination for the night is Škofja Loka; this is one of the oldest towns in Slovenia, ideally spent wandering through the streets of the old town.
The Kamnik-Savinja Alps will accompany you as you leave Škofja Loka. A stop to note is the village Preddvor, if the weather is warm, take advantage and swim in the alpine lake here.
After an easy day of cycling, you’ll end up at the Brdo estate. Chill out before dinner in this former royal and presidential residence, finished off with a beautiful, relaxing park.
Enjoy a day of cycling amongst history! Start the day off with a visit to Kranj, aka the capital of Carniola. Be led to the amazing village of Kropa, which is the home to the iron forging museum, where you can learn about the town’s blacksmith trade; learn how to make your nail here from over 100 types!
You can leave it with the collection or take it home to make your own. After heading to the edge of Jelovica’s high plateau and onto your stop for the night of Radovljica, a wonderfully preserved town with a beekeeping museum to be visited.
Today’s cycling will entail the edge of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and the village of Begunje. This settlement was the site of one of Slovenia’s darkest moments. You can learn about this in the village of hostages and learn about the thousands of people who were executed during the German occupation of the Second World War.
It’s not all doom and gloom here; this city is also home to the famous Slavko Avsenik / Oberkrainer band. Just a stone’s throw away are the ruins of Kamen Castle.
Continue cycling through the mountains illuminated by the sun before reaching Kranjska Gora. This town is popular for its ski resorts and is even home to the world record for the longest ski jump.
Time for the last day of cycling, but not the least. Head into the thick of the Triglav National Park, alongside the Sava Dolinka River on its way to join the Sava Bohinjka, becoming the Sava River (the longest in Slovenia). After stopping in Mojstrana, go into the Krma Valley.
The landscape here is luscious and green with a tranquil forest; there are also monuments from the Second World War and traditional farmhouses (one of which has been transformed into a museum). Stop for a spot of lunch in the mountain hut at the bottom of Triglav, the highest mountain in the Julian Alps, accompanied by gorgeous views.
After this, you’re on the home stretch as you go through Radovna Valley between the Pokljuka and Mežakla plateaus. Leave the valley and take a short trip to the beautiful 1.6 km-long Vintgar Gorge.
