About this tour

Bike tour Slovenia from Ljubljana to Bled

self-guided or private-guided tour

Scenic paths, authentic villages, and breathtaking mountains

Bike tour Slovenia from Ljubljana to Bled 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 splendor. The trail meanders through a rich tapestry of encounters, with Škofja Loka serving as its crowning jewel. This perfectly preserved medieval city greets travelers 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 medieval 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 seasoned travellers or first-timers, cyclists may confidently approach the terrain because the e-bike’s electric aid easily climbs any slope.
