Bikepacking de Tolmin a Kranjska Gora

Cycling Route: Tolmin to Kranjska Gora

This route is a true adventure for cyclists looking to take in some of Slovenia’s best alpine scenery! Starting in Tolmin, a charming town on the edge of the emerald Soča River and famous for its lively festivals and hikes, you’ll head north through the dramatic Julian Alps, weaving past tranquil villages and deep green forests.

The journey is not for the faint of heart—expect some serious climbing (almost 7,000 meters of ascent!), but your efforts are richly rewarded with sweeping mountain views and quiet roads. Over half the ride rolls smoothly on pavement or asphalt, with most of the route pleasantly quiet and away from traffic. You'll encounter sections of gravel and unpaved surfaces, so a sturdy bike is a good idea.

Kranjska Gora, your finish line, is an alpine resort known for winter sports and its warm welcome to cyclists and hikers in the summer. Take a break at one of the cozy cafés, and don't miss the crystal-clear lakes nearby! If you love dramatic climbs and epic landscapes, this route might become your new favorite ride in Slovenia.
