The Journey
Lake Bled
Begin your Slovenian adventure at the fairytale-like Lake Bled, a jewel of the Julian Alps. This iconic glacial lake is famed for its picturesque island church, accessible by traditional 'pletna' boats, and the imposing Bled Castle, perched high on a cliff overlooking the shimmering waters. Immerse yourself in the lake's tranquil beauty, explore the historic castle, and savor the famous Bled cream cake ('Kremšnita') for an unforgettable start to your journey.
Radovna Valley & Kranjska Gora
Cycle from Bled through the serene Radovna Valley, a verdant passage carved by the Radovna River, towards the alpine resort town of Kranjska Gora. En route, discover the tranquil Lake Kreda, a former clay pit transformed into a picturesque lake, and pass through Mojstrana, known as the 'Valley of Masters' for its mountaineering heritage. The Sava River accompanies you, its clear waters reflecting the surrounding mountains, as you approach Kranjska Gora, a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.
Vršič Pass
Prepare for an exhilarating ride over the Vršič Pass, Slovenia's highest mountain pass. This challenging ascent, with its 50 hairpin turns, rewards cyclists with breathtaking panoramic views of the Julian Alps. Discover poignant landmarks like the Russian Chapel, a memorial to WWI Russian prisoners who perished constructing the road. Descend towards the source of the Soča River, a stunning display of nature's power, and marvel at the Great Soča Gorge, where turquoise waters have sculpted dramatic canyons over millennia.
Soča Valley & Bovec
Continue your cycling journey along the emerald-green Soča River from Bovec. This region offers a rich blend of natural wonders and historical significance. Discover the charming town of Kobarid, renowned for its World War I museum and the captivating Kozjak Waterfall, hidden within a secluded amphitheater. Explore the dramatic Tolmin Gorge, a narrow chasm carved by the Tolminka and Zadlaščica rivers, and admire the serene Most na Soči lake, a reservoir reflecting the surrounding mountains.
