Radovna Valley Cycling
Cycling through the Radovna Valley is a beautiful nature experience, but also a somewhat demanding ride. Along the route, you pass through the surroundings of Bled, the Radovna Valley, and the three alpine valleys of Krma, Kot, and Vrata, all with fantastic views of the Julian Alps. The entire round trip is approximately 57 km. This is a popular cycling tour during the summer, especially among tourists renting bicycles in Bled.

Restaurant Rajh
The best restaurant visits are the ones where expectations are exceeded, and our visit to Restaurant Rajh was exactly that kind of experience. Naturally, we had high expectations after reading about the restaurant, but the food turned out to be even better than we had imagined. Located in the Prekmurje region, between Austria, Hungary, and the Mura River, the restaurant has a unique setting and character. We fell in love with the place and would happily return.

Piran Wall
The Piran city wall is one of the best spots for fantastic views and beautiful photos of Piran, unless you have a drone, of course. Although we have visited Piran countless times, it wasn’t until early April this year that we finally explored the wall. It was a wonderful spring day during Easter, with plenty of visitors, especially Slovenians and Italians. Given Piran’s proximity to Italy, the town attracts many day visitors.

Kranjska Gora Cycling
On the last Saturday in March, I cycled from Radovljica to Kranjska Gora and on to Planica. A long ride of almost 100 km there and back in brilliant sunshine. Especially on the stretch from Mojstrana to Kranjska Gora, you are rewarded with fantastic views of the Julian Alps. A large part of the route follows well-maintained cycle paths. The section between Mojstrana and Kranjska Gora is particularly well designed, as it runs along the old disused railway line between Ljubljana and Tarvisio in Italy.

Hiša Polonka
Hiša (House) Polonka is a gostilna / trattoria run by Valter Kramar, co-owner of the three-Michelin-star restaurant Hiša Franko. It offers a completely different experience from Hiša Franko, with a strong focus on simplicity, charm, and authenticity in a homely setting. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the menu is built around local ingredients and traditional dishes. The restaurant is located in the town of Kobarid in the Soča Valley.

Bohinjska Bistrica Cycling
Bled and its surroundings are perfect for a cycling adventure. There are many well-prepared trails, as well as plenty of places to rent bikes. In our opinion, the best route is the one from Bled to Bohinjska Bistrica and onward to Lake Bohinj. In early April, we cycled from Radovljica all the way to Bohinjska Bistrica and back—a round trip of about 55 - 60 km in glorious sunshine. The only downside is that the trail is not yet fully completed, so you have to cycle a few kilometers on the road.
