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.

Velika/Mala Osojnica

Velika (Great) and Mala (Little) Osojnica are two hills, or peaks, that rise on the western side of Lake Bled. These peaks offer some of the best views of the lake and are popular hiking destinations for visitors, photographers, drone operators, and influencers. There are two trails leading to the peaks, an easier trail with a moderate gradient, and a much steeper, more exposed scenic trail with beautiful views along the way. If you have to choose, Mala Osojnica offers the better view.

Mount Brana

Mount Brana is a ridge mountain located in the Kamnik–Savinja Alps. It lies along the main ridge, which includes some of the highest and most well-known peaks in the area: Kočna (2,540 m), Grintovec (2,558 m), Skuta, Turska Gora (2,251 m), Brana (2,253 m), Planjava (2,394 m), and Ojstrica (2,350 m). Brana is probably the easiest peak to climb along this ridge, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a challenge without tackling a highly technical ascent.

Mount Stenar

If you’ve done some easier hikes and feel ready to take the next step, Mount Stenar in the Julian Alps could be a great option. Climbing Stenar offers a good mix of challenge and moderate exposure. The route is long but not overly technical, with only one easy via ferrata section. For most of the climb, you’ll be rewarded with fantastic views of the Julian Alps in all directions. The north face of Triglav will be your constant companion, visible all the way from the parking area in the Vrata Valley to the summit of Stenar.

Koželj Wines

Koželj Wines in Ljubljana is a well-stocked wine shop offering wines from all corners of Slovenia, ranging from the largest and most prominent producers to smaller, more unique wineries. Here you can both buy and taste wines, accompanied by snacks. In many ways, this shop is the opposite of Štorija. Instead of a small, specialized selection, you’ll find a wide range and large variety in a well-organized store. The shop is beautifully located at Pogačarjev Square. Koželj is also a chain with locations in several cities across Slovenia.
