Gita in bici di un giorno da Kranjska Gora a Bled

This cycling route takes you from the mountain town of Kranjska Gora to the famous lakeside retreat of Bled—two gems in Slovenia’s Julian Alps. Covering around 44 km, it’s a ride for those ready for a bit of a workout: you’ll climb nearly 900 meters and enjoy over 1,300 meters of descent, with the high point topping out at just over 1,040 meters. Expect smooth sailing for most of the journey, as about three-quarters is paved, with a mix of cycleways and quiet country roads. There’s a stretch with gravel, so consider sturdy tires.

Kranjska Gora is a popular ski resort, but in summer it’s beloved by cyclists, with crisp air and dramatic alpine views. The ride winds past rivers, forests, and meadows—perfect for plenty of photo stops. You’ll end at Lake Bled, famous for its picture-perfect island church and fairytale castle perched above the lake. Reward yourself with a slice of the local cream cake—a Bled specialty. It’s a perfect blend of scenic adventure and cultural highlights!
