Quick ride by bicycle from Zgornje Pirniče to Ljubljana

This cycling route takes you from the quaint village of Zgornje Pirniče to the vibrant heart of Ljubljana. You’ll cover just under 17 km—enough to get your legs spinning, but not an all-day affair. Most of the way rolls along smooth, paved roads (with a good chunk on quiet roads and cycle paths), so you can enjoy the ride without too much traffic.

The scenery starts with peaceful countryside, with glimpses of the Sava River, before you get closer to Ljubljana and its lively urban buzz. On the way, there’s a gentle climb (around 124 meters of ascent, nothing too daunting), followed by a steady descent as you head into the city.

Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital, is renowned for its picturesque riverside, green spaces, and laid-back atmosphere—perfect for a post-ride coffee or pastry in Prešeren Square. All in all, it’s a great little adventure that combines rural charm with a taste of city life at the finish!
