Cycling day trip from Ljubljana to Zgornje Jezersko

Start your cycling adventure in the charming city of Ljubljana, known for its picturesque architecture and vibrant cultural scene. As you pedal out of the city, you’ll find yourself gradually leaving the hustle and bustle behind, trading it for the tranquil embrace of nature.

This route will take you up to the beautiful alpine area of Zgornje Jezersko, which is a hidden gem right at the foot of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps. Along the approximately 58 km journey, you’ll ascend over 2500 meters, so get ready for a bit of a workout! The end goal makes the climb totally worth it, as you're rewarded with stunning vistas and crisp mountain air.

The path is mostly composed of quiet roads and tracks, making for a peaceful ride surrounded by lush scenery. But do note that not all the surface is paved; you'll encounter a mix of asphalt and some gravel, adding a bit of rustic charm to the journey.

If you’re up for it, finish your ride with a refreshing dip in the glacial lake at Zgornje Jezersko, or simply sit back and enjoy the serene alpine beauty. Be sure to soak it all in before heading back to the lively heart of Slovenia's capital!
