Giro veloce in bici da Lubiana a Medvode

Hop on your bike in Ljubljana, Slovenia’s charming green capital, and set out northward to the small town of Medvode. This roughly 15.5 km ride is a great intro to the Slovenian countryside, kicking off right from the city yet quickly trading urban buzz for quiet roads and pretty paths.

You’ll head out along mostly smooth surfaces, so it’s perfect for a road or trekking bike. The route is super bike-friendly: about 86% paved, with only a light touch of gravel here and there. You’ll pass through peaceful neighborhoods and some lush stretches by the Sava River. The climb tops out with just over 125 meters of ascent—enough to get your heart going, but nothing too wild.

Medvode itself is well-known for its riverside setting where the Sava and Sora meet, and makes a perfect place to grab a coffee or a snack before heading back. Whether you’re after a relaxed spin or a bit of local sightseeing, this route’s a winner!
