Cycling day trip from Ljubljana to Grosuplje

This route takes you from the lively heart of Ljubljana to the quieter town of Grosuplje, just a bit over 25 km to the southeast. Starting in Slovenia’s buzzing capital—famous for its green spaces and bike-friendly vibe—you’ll leave the city center and soon find yourself cruising along mainly quiet roads, which make up most of this ride. The route is around 93% paved with a good mix of asphalt and some standard paved surfaces, so rolling is easy for most bikes.

There’s a decent bit of up-and-down, with just over 310 meters of climbing and a max elevation pushing close to 490 meters, but the ups are spread out and manageable. As you pedal, you’ll pass through classic countryside and small villages, finally rolling into Grosuplje—a peaceful town known for its traditional character and lovely church. If you’re looking for a relaxed escape from city life, this route is a great blend of urban start, scenic ride, and a quaint finish.
