Cycling day trip from Ljubljana to Dobrovo

Ljubljana to Dobrovo Cycling Route

Ready for an epic ride from Slovenia’s lively capital to the heart of wine country? This challenging 131 km route starts in Ljubljana, a green city famous for its riverside cafes and Dragon Bridge. You’ll wind your way west, leaving the urban buzz behind as you climb picturesque hills and coast down sweeping descents—expect a real workout, with over 3,200 meters of ascent!

Much of this route is on quiet roads and tracks, so you’ll enjoy peaceful countryside views, with some sections of gravel and unpaved surfaces to keep it interesting. Along the way, you’ll pass through charming villages and rolling vineyards before arriving in Dobrovo, the hub of the Goriška Brda wine region. Treat yourself to a glass of local Rebula or Merlot, and soak in the relaxed vibe at Dobrovo Castle.

This journey has it all: adventure, scenery, and a delicious destination at the end. Don’t forget your camera—or your appetite!
