Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Kranj à Bled

This route takes you on a scenic ride from Kranj to the fairytale town of Bled, covering about 38 kilometers. You’ll start off in Kranj—a pretty city perched above the Sava River, known for its medieval old town and laid-back vibe.

Most of the ride sticks to quiet roads and cycleways, so it’s a relaxing spin. Expect to climb a bit (roughly 590 meters of ascent) as you head into the foothills of the Julian Alps, but hey, those views are worth every pedal stroke! Bring your camera—especially as you get closer to Bled, with its iconic lake, island church, and mountain backdrop.

The surface is mostly smooth asphalt or paved roads, though a small percentage may lack full surface data—just be ready for the odd surprise! All in all, this is a classic Slovenian ride with just enough challenge to keep it interesting, ending right at one of Europe’s prettiest spots. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a “kremšnita” cream cake when you arrive!
