Quick ride by bicycle from Ljubljana to Trzin

Enjoy a leisurely ride from Ljubljana, Slovenia’s lively capital, up to Trzin, a charming small town just north of the city. Starting in Ljubljana, you’ll quickly leave behind the bustle and historic architecture—did you know the iconic Ljubljanica River weaves through over a dozen bridges here?—and slip onto a scenic route that’s super cyclist-friendly.

Most of this ride follows smooth paved paths, with 94% on asphalt and barely any cobblestone in sight. Expect an undulating but gentle ascent (about 90 meters up and down), making it accessible even if you’re not a mountain goat on two wheels. The path takes you through green suburban outskirts, parks, and peaceful neighborhoods, with dedicated cycleways and quiet roads making up the majority of your time in the saddle.

After about 13.5 km, you’ll roll into Trzin, where you can grab a coffee and enjoy the slower pace. Trzin’s roots go back to the 12th century, making it one of Slovenia’s older settlements—be sure to check out the local parish church if you’ve got time!
