Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Lublana do Zgornje Pirniče

Looking to escape the city for a bit? This scenic ride takes you from Ljubljana’s vibrant center north to the peaceful village of Zgornje Pirniče—a perfect distance for a leisurely half-day adventure.

Starting in Ljubljana, Slovenia’s lively capital, you’ll quickly swap urban bustle for quiet suburbs and lush countryside. The route is about 17.5 km, mostly paved and asphalt, so it’s friendly for most bikes. You’ll roll through a mix of quiet roads and pretty paths, with hardly any busy traffic to worry about.

Expect some gentle climbs (about 160 meters of ascent) as you meander through green fields and alongside the Sava River, a great spot to pause and soak up views. Zgornje Pirniče, your destination, is a charming spot just north of the city, known for its rural tranquility and as a gateway to more mountainous adventures further north.

Bring a snack or two, enjoy the fresh air, and take your time—this route is all about enjoying the journey!
