Cycling day trip from Ljubljana to Celje

Get ready for an awesome cycling journey from the charming capital city of Ljubljana to the picturesque town of Celje. It's about a 100 km ride, so gear up for a full day of adventure! Ljubljana, famous for its vibrant culture and stunning architecture, makes for a great starting point with many cozy cafes to fuel up at before you embark.

You'll enjoy cruising mainly on quiet roads (78% of the route!)—perfect for taking in the Slovenian countryside without too much hustle and bustle.

Known for its rich historical sites, like the Celje Castle, make sure to spend some time exploring once you arrive. Pack a lunch or plan a stop for a picnic; this route is all about savoring the ride and the sights. Happy cycling! 🌞🚴‍♀️
