Quick ride by bicycle from Medvode to Ljubljana

Set off from the small riverside town of Medvode and enjoy a scenic 19-km ride to Slovenia’s buzzing capital, Ljubljana! The route gently rolls through the countryside, with some mild climbs (about 187 meters up) and almost as much descent, so be ready for a few short pushes. You’ll spend most of your journey on a mix of quiet roads and peaceful paved paths, catching glimpses of the Sava River and the lush Slovene landscape along the way—perfect for a relaxed pace.

Medvode is known for its beautiful river confluence and chill vibe, making it a sweet spot to start your ride. As you approach Ljubljana, you’ll notice the shift to city energy—Ljubljana is famous for its lively outdoor cafés, the iconic Dragon Bridge, and a picturesque old town. With most of the route paved and only a tiny section unpaved, any hybrid or road bike will be just fine.

All in all, this is an enjoyable ride—ideal for anyone wanting to swap rural calm for some city culture in under two hours on two wheels!
