Ljubljana to Bled bike tour

Scenic paths, authentic villages, and breathtaking mountains.

The Ljubljana to Bled bike tour reveals an amazing adventure through Slovenia’s varied landscapes and historical riches. This long-distance e-bike track connects the lively capital city of Ljubljana with the alluring alpine attractiveness of Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj, bridging urban charm and alpine splendour. The trail meanders through a rich tapestry of encounters, with Škofja Loka serving as its crowning jewel. This perfectly preserved mediaeval city greets travellers with cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and a palpable sense of the past. The highlight of the tour is the discovery of Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj, two alpine lakes that personify Slovenia’s breathtaking beauty. The serene charm of Lake Bled, which is both calming and alluring, is enhanced by the presence of a mediaeval chapel on its famous island. In contrast, the untamed environment and rough beauty of Lake Bohinj inspire wonder and adventure.

E-bikes are incorporated into the experience, adding a level of accessibility and opening up this excursion to a wider spectrum of enthusiasts. Whether they are seasoned travellers or first-timers, cyclists may approach the terrain with confidence because the e-bike’s electric aid easily climbs any slope.

Day 2: Ljubljana – Škofja Loka

This first day of cycling will already be an exciting ride from the city centre of Ljubljana to the medieval town of Škofja Loka. After leaving the city centre you will start with an ascent up to St. Katarina, overlooking Ljubljana valley, and continue all the way to scenic St. Jakob church which offers a 360-degree panoramic view.

After leaving one pasture you will cross many of them and have a chance to try traditional alpine cheese. Having enough of typical shepherd’s mountain huts you will start with a long descent to Lake Bled and finish the day.

Let customer experiences speak for themselves

We honestly had the best time and it was such a special way for us to see some of Slovenia. And the rain- well we are used to it and it’s all part of the experience and memories!  The route was spectacular and we felt very very well looked after. I was very glad Jernej called in and we got to meet him. Thank you Jernej for taking the time! And Ursa was so kind brining an e-bike to us at very short notice. We want to thank you both for everything! We will definitely 100% recommend Greenhills to any New Zealanders we meet travelling to Slovenia.
