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.

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.

Zgornje Jezersko

Zgornje (Upper) Jezersko is a charming village on the northern side of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps. Located in a high alpine valley, it lies between the Karawanke mountains to the north and the Kamnik–Savinja Alps to the south. This lesser-known alpine paradise, much like the Logar Valley and Robanov Kot on the eastern side of the range, offers a genuine and authentic mountain environment. Here, you can immerse yourself in unspoiled nature and enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, surrounded by beautiful scenery and peaceful landscapes.

Mangart Saddle

The road to Mangart Saddle is the highest in Slovenia, reaching a peak altitude of 2,072 meters. It was built in 1938 by the Italian army under Mussolini, as this part of Slovenia belonged to Italy at the time. The ascent is narrow, with many hairpin bends, and the road is quite exposed, making it unsuitable for the faint-hearted. However, once you reach the top, you are rewarded with fantastic natural scenery and breathtaking panoramic views.

Radovljica

Radovljica is our hometown in Slovenia. When we visit, we stay in our apartment there. The town is located in the Gorenjska region (Upper Carniola) and is rich in history, reflecting the different eras of the region. The town centre dates back to the Middle Ages. Today, Radovljica is known for its honey, beekeeping traditions, and chocolate, and it hosts an annual chocolate festival. Not far down in the valley below, the Sava Bohinjka and Sava Dolinka rivers merge to form the Sava River.

The hike up to Talež is a quick and easy route that can be completed in 30–45 minutes, making it perfect for a short workout after work. At the top, you’ll find a larger hunting lodge with fantastic views of Bled, Radovljica, and the surrounding valley. We often hike up to Talež to get some exercise and enjoy the scenery.
