Bikepacking from Ljubljana to Piran

Starting your cycling adventure in Ljubljana, Slovenia's charming capital, you'll pedal through a mix of urban landscapes and countryside vistas. Known for its lively cultural scene, Ljubljana is where old-world charm meets modern vibes. As you leave the city, you'll find yourself cruising along quiet roads and cycleways. The route is mostly asphalt, with some stretches of gravel that add a bit of excitement to your ride.

The journey south is a delightful mix of gradual climbs – don't sweat, they pay off with stunning views and breezy downhill glides. You’ll be ascending to a max elevation of around 754 meters, so expect some effort on the uphill, but you'll have plenty of stunning backdrops to keep you motivated.

As you continue, you'll notice a change in scenery as you approach Piran, a picturesque coastal town on the Adriatic Sea. Known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and charming squares, Piran is the perfect place to wrap up your ride. Visit Tartini Square and enjoy a well-deserved gelato by the sea.

This route is a beautiful mix of city, countryside, and coastline – peppered with a sense of adventure that makes for an unforgettable cycling experience. Happy pedaling!
