A cycling route starting in Bled, Občina Bled, Slovenia.

Overview

About this route

21

Beatiful road through small towns with amazing views till the Krnica turning, after Pokljuka starts to build. The road starts getting steeper and into trees lining the road, which you cant see much through. It is a relentlessly winding road, each one you swear must be the last, this continues for approx 10km until the turning to Bohinj. There is a water fountain in Zgornje Gorje and one close to the turning at the top. There are only 2 resturants both close to the bottom and the last chance of water before the top spring. The descent is less steep than the ascent with fantastic views and through beautiful small towns. Hitting the main highway in Bitnje, which happens fast and a little unexpectantly its about 300m till a blue cycle path sign to the Lake. The cycle path has some amazing swimming spots and also loops back to Bohinjska Bistrica for the train back to Bled.
