Cycling day trip from Ljubljana to Ivančna Gorica

This scenic 40 km ride takes you from Slovenia’s lively capital Ljubljana to the picturesque town of Ivančna Gorica. You’ll kick things off pedaling out of Ljubljana—famous for its leafy riverbanks and laid-back vibe—before swapping urban streets for peaceful country roads. The route is mostly on quiet lanes, with just the right mix of rolling hills to keep your legs entertained: expect about 680 meters of climbing.

Most of the journey is on paved surfaces (and a good chunk is that smooth, glorious asphalt cyclists love), so it’s great for a road bike. Along the way, you’ll wind through pretty Slovenian villages and open countryside. Don’t forget, you’ll climb to just over 500 meters—enough for some satisfying views, but nothing too crazy!

Your ride ends in Ivančna Gorica, a small town nestled among green hills and known for its laid-back feel and friendly locals. Grab a coffee, soak in the scenery, and toast to a solid day’s cycling outside the hustle and bustle!
