Gita in bici di un giorno da Lubiana a Metlika

Get ready for an epic ride from Slovenia’s charming capital, Ljubljana, to the historic river town of Metlika. You'll cover about 120 km, winding southeast through rolling hills and picturesque villages. Expect a real workout—the route has over 2,100 meters of climbing, so get those legs spinning!

Most of the journey rolls across peaceful, paved backroads, with just a sprinkle of gravel here and there to keep things interesting. The highest point is around 533 meters, giving you sweeping views of lush forests and farm-dotted landscapes. Take breaks in the lovely Dolenjska region, known for its vineyards and cozy gostilnas (local inns).

Ljubljana is famous for its green spaces and riverside cafes, a great spot to kick off your adventure. Metlika, your destination, is a pretty town on the Kolpa River, best known for its wine, old castles, and rich Bela Krajina traditions. After a day in the saddle, reward yourself with a local glass of Metliška črnina or a dip in the Kolpa!
