Bikepacking from Bovec to Kranjska Gora

This epic cycling journey takes you from the charming alpine town of Bovec to the popular outdoor hub of Kranjska Gora. Bovec, nestled in the stunning Soča Valley, is famous for its emerald river and adventure sports—think rafting, canyoning, and paragliding. The ride itself is no small feat: over 200 km with almost 8,000 meters of climbing! Expect a mix of quiet roads, forest tracks, and a healthy dose of unpaved sections—so bring your grit (and grippy tires).

You’ll pedal through jaw-dropping mountain views, quaint Slovenian villages, and thick forests, often with the Julian Alps as a backdrop. There are plenty of quiet stretches, and only a whisker of busy roads, so you’ll have lots of time to soak in the scenery. The route wraps up in Kranjska Gora, famous for its ski slopes, biking parks, and postcard-pretty lakes.

Plan for a long day—or better yet, split it up and savor the adventure. This is Slovenia at its best: dramatic, peaceful, and perfect for anyone who loves a real challenge.
