Cycling day trip from Bled to Ljubljana

This memorable ride kicks off at the stunning Lake Bled, famous for its fairy-tale island church and medieval castle perched above emerald waters. From here, you'll pedal southeast towards Slovenia’s buzzing capital, Ljubljana. The route rolls through around 66 km of mainly quiet roads (77%), with plenty of beautiful countryside and green foothills in between—don’t worry, the road stays friendly on the traffic front!

There’s a solid bit of climbing overall (about 900 meters up and 1,100 meters down), but nothing too savage. Most of the ride is on good quality asphalt, giving your wheels a smooth spin, but do double-check your route or map as some surface info is missing, and watch out for the occasional path (about 12%).

Once you reach Ljubljana, soak up the lively café culture along the Ljubljanica River, explore the quaint old town, or climb up to its hilltop castle for a view that makes every pedal stroke worth it. If you love lakes, scenic roads, and a city with serious charm, this route is for you!
