Vršič Pass Cycling
One of the most popular cycling challenges in Slovenia is cycling up the Vršič Pass from Kranjska Gora. It is a popular challenge among cyclists and has become more accessible with the advent of e-bikes. Its popularity is also reflected in the many cycling events held throughout the year. In mid-August, I wanted to see if I could still cycle up the pass. It was my third time making the climb. The weather was sunny but a little too hot, and I was far from being alone on the road.

Restaurant Triangel
Restaurant Triangel is a fantastic gourmet restaurant located in the village of Gozd Martuljek, a few kilometres from the popular resort town of Kranjska Gora. It offers one of the best views of the Julian Alps, particularly the spectacular Martuljek Group. During the summer months, you can sit on the restaurant’s outdoor terrace, overlooking the mountains while enjoying fantastic food. The menu is modern while at the same time being rooted in local culinary traditions, with traditional dishes reinterpreted using local products and ingredients.

Bohinj Lake Cycling
In mid-May, I cycled from Radovljica to Lake Bohinj. Irina and I had previously cycled together to Bohinjska Bistrica along the cycle path through the valley. This time, I chose a different route over the Pokljuka Plateau, which turned out to be a much tougher challenge. The effort was well worth it, however. The descent from the plateau to Lake Bohinj takes you through incredibly beautiful landscapes, passing several picturesque villages and offering fantastic views down into the valley where the lake is located. The climb may be demanding, but the scenery more than makes up for it.

Vršič Pass
Vršič Pass is Slovenia’s highest mountain pass open to road traffic. The road connects Kranjska Gora on the northern side of the Julian Alps with the Trenta and Soča valleys and the town of Bovec on the southern side. It is an exceptionally scenic route that attracts large numbers of drivers, motorcyclists, and cyclists during the summer months. However, the history of the pass, and the reasons for its construction, is not so beautiful.

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.

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.
