Cycling day trip from Zgornje Gorje to Kranjska Gora

This cycling route takes you from Zgornje Gorje, a small village at the gateway to the gorgeous Pokljuka plateau (and just a stone’s throw from Lake Bled), all the way up to the alpine town of Kranjska Gora. Over about 47 km, you’ll take on some serious elevation—with more than 1400 meters of climbing—so be ready for a proper workout!

You’ll enjoy mostly quiet roads and scenic cycleways, winding through forests and alpine scenery with the occasional gravel stretch to keep things interesting. Expect smooth asphalt for most of the way, but be prepared for some mixed surfaces and the odd unpaved section—nothing too wild, just enough to make it fun.

Once you roll into Kranjska Gora, you’ll have the perfect excuse to relax in this lively mountain resort, famous for skiing in winter and cycling in summer. Grab a coffee, treat yourself to a slice of kremšnita (if you missed it in Bled), and soak up the views of the surrounding Julian Alps.
