We’re Grega and Maja, a local family outdoor team and the only travel agency based right inside Triglav National Park. We live on these trails year-round, planning and testing every route ourselves as certified hiking and cycling guides.
That local knowledge is what you get with us: routes that are legal, safe and actually passable, places to eat and stay we would recommend to our friends, and a real person on WhatsApp if anything goes wrong.
We travel light, too. As a Travelife Partner and Slovenia Green Travel Agency we work with local providers, encourage arriving by train or bus, and explore the park in a way that protects it.

I had a great experience. I began communicating with Grega about a month prior to my trip. I really wanted a modern gravel bike to do an epic gravel ride in bohinj. Grega had the new specialized diverge in great condition. The bikes performed… More very well. As an avid cyclist I was pleasantly surprised. His bikes even came stocked with a saddle bag with a spare tube, pump and bike tool.
I would definitely recommend renting from Hike&Bike!
We rented fantastic e-bikes and received all the help we needed with their proper use and setup. We were also given a great route recommendation through an online map, which was very easy to use and helped us reach amazing places!
Definitely… More come here and enjoy a long bike ride if you’re in the area! 😍🚴♀️🚴♂️
We rented two ebikes from Grega at Bike and Hire for 6 days. Right from the start he was able to answer all my questions. He was happy meet us the day before rental to go through our planned route and help us out with some alternatives… More as some areas were still closed quiet zones for spring. We did a modifided version Julian Bike Trail over 6 days and loved ever minute. The bike were in fantastic condition and didn't miss a beat. Thanks so much Grega, just wish Slovenia was closer to New Zealand cycling here is a dream.
Great bike rental service in the area! Grega was very friendly and gave us the assistance we needed. Nice cycling routes and beautiful scenery in the area too!
Bikes are 100%! We rented Gravel bikes and they were almost new! As well as the helmets. The owner are super nice and suggests 3 great cycling tour maps that you can download on Google Map from their website. We chose the short one (37… More km) in Bohinj région, and it was the most beautiful bike ride of my life.
Back in Canada, we do MTB and road bike… but this one is a ride to remember!
There is a free parking spot for the car few meters away.
Great place and great new bikes! The owner Grega was very supportive even for the shirt bike rental. I hed brand new Specialized Diverge gravel bike with 11 speed CUES system.
Easy to book on line, great well maintained Marin gravel bikes for road/ gravel. Adjustments made and repair kit pump provided as well as advice about routes. Friendly, helpful… the best bike shop in Bohinj!😊🚴
We (me and my two sons) had an amazing time snow shoeing with Grega at the Pokljuka Plateau. It was a perfect afternoon trip - Grega offered us a lift there from Ribcev Laz which was very helpful and also great to chat and be able to ask… More questions about the area- which is really beautiful.
Grega was also very helpful before I booked the trip - great communication throughout: quick and helpful responses. The trip itself - snow showing through the Pokljuka Plateau was magical: lots of snow (even though there was no snow in the valley), stunning views, very peaceful. It was interesting to see the cross country skiers and biathlon facilities but Grega also took us further into the woods, off the beaten path, through virgin snow, which was so peaceful and beautiful. Stunning views of unspoilt winter beauty in the woods/ meadow and mountains in the distance. Grega was a brilliant guide, clearly very knowledgeable about the area, helpful with the equipment and all the arrangements and generally a great company!
We had a fantastic experience. Grega has a great set-up. Excellently maintained Specialized gravel bikes fitted our hopes for a relaxed day in the saddle with mostly roads but able to cope if the satnav took us off road. The cycle paths… More around Bohinjska Betrisca are fantastic. And the climb up to Blato from Stara Fužina is epic. Great communications all the way through and very reasonably priced at €40/day for a better bike than my one at home. 66 very happy kilometres pedalled.
We rented 2 ebikes and made a beautiful tour through the Bohinj valley along small farms, waterfalls and streams . We passed small villages and the Bohinj lake. It was beautiful weather, a bit cold. Grega helped us with the bikes and the… More route. It was a great day as we love cycling..
We had a wonderful day on perfectly maintained and high-quality bicycles. The suggested routes in the region were ideal for a day trip through a beautiful area."
Hike and Bike is a really good place to rent bikes. We have rented 2 mountain E-MTB for 8 days to do the the Julian Alp Mountain Bike trail around Triglav National Park. The bikes were n good shape and everything went well.
Grega took… More the Time to adjust the bikes and give us good advice.
I strongly recommend!
I rented a bike from Hike and Bike last Monday and had such a great day that I came back on Wednesday to hire again. The service was top class - advice on the best bike, the best routes...even the best coffee!
I'm a recreational cyclist… More - regular spins of 80-100k with some hills. I ended up doing some serious climbing and a bit of gravel biking - tough but exhilarating. The bike was essentially a road bike with wider tyres which was perfect.
We had an amazing experience with Grega from Hike and Bike. We knew we wanted to bike on our first day in the Bohinj area valley, but wasn’t sure of any other details and Grega arranged via email a great private tour with gravel bikes… More of all the highlights in the valley with really helpful information for future days. He was an invaluable source of local details and answered all our questions about the towns and hay barns we cycled by. There were clear cycling instructions when riding on road for safety and checks in frequently on the speed. He gets great shots along the way and shared right after. Can’t recommend enough!
Excellent service and top quality eMtb bikes. Greg’s gave a quick but comprehensive intro and off we went. A detour off the supplied route took us up to Vodnikov Lookout Point. Well worth it. We had a great day exploring the area. 10:0am… More to 5:30pm and all still had over 40% left 🚴🚴🚴
Absolutely amazing experience; Grega was fantastic from start to finish. High quality well maintained bikes, beautiful route at exactly the right pace. Grega was very knowledgable and enthusiastic about both the area and cycling. He even… More tolerated my World Tour cycling chat which I’m sure he has to have with every guest 😀 10/10 will definitely come again.
The owner - Grega - is very kind and helpful. He told us in detail where we could cycle and what to see. The bikes were also in good condition and we were able to use them without any problems.
Best experience ever. Grega planned a 4 day hiking hut to hut followed by a 4 day bike loop around the Julian Alps. We chose self guided with all our maps downloaded prior on an easy to use app. The huts included dinner and breakfast. The… More hotels were great including breakfast. All of our luggage was transferred to each hotel without an issue on our bike trip. We had plenty of time to enjoy the afternoon and explore or rest! I am so grateful for this experience thank to Grega! Thank you 🙏
Great bike rental shop, with excellent service, the owner Grega is very kind and helpful. The bikes are like new, very recommanded to rent here if you want to discover the Bohinj valley fast and with lots of fun! I suggest you to choose… More the e-bikes if you haven’t tried yet.
Hike and Bike is conveniently situated and the service is friendly and efficient. I rented a Specialized Diverge gravel bike, which was very well geared for the climbs in the region. I rode all paved roads, and was happy for the wider tires… More on some of the rougher road sections. Overall, I highly recommend Hike & Bike, and had a great time exploring the region on one of their bikes!
Me and my girlfriend had an amazing day thanks to Hike and Bike. We rented two E-Bikes for the day and cycled to Lake Bohinj. They supplied us with locks, an inner tube and pump. Overall efficienct in their approach and the bikes were well… More maintained. Thank you once again. Hope to deal with you again in the near future.
The staff is exceptional, gave us some supplies for our trip, and the bikes were pristine. Wonderful experience, will come back to rent anytime in Bohinj.
We had a wonderful day ride through the Bohinj region. I chose a gravel bike (brand new and in perfect mechanical condition) and my wife went with an e-mtb. Grega helped us map a route featuring paved and gravel bike paths, side hiking… More trips to waterfalls, and cafés in the morning. After lunch I continued up and over the Pokljuka Plateau and down to Lake Bled. Grega was flexible with our reservation given the changing weather forecast. Thanks for a great day, Grega - hope to see you in Montana someday!
We had great experience with this rental bikes shop. Grega was very professional, explained everything, gave tips which route to take and the bikes were in great condition without fault. Small detail, we forgot bike trousers so it was a… More bit rough sitting but overall great. We highly recommend. 🚴🏻
Grega has amazing communication and has curated a wonderful Alps to Adriatic tour. The hotels were all in excellent locations, providing amazing service and lovely breakfasts to set you up for a days riding. The bikes we hired were high… More quality Specialized brand, with great storage for 6 days of biking.
We always felt safe on the bike trails and mostly quiet roads, and we felt like we have had a close up view of Western Slovenia as well as some Italian villages along the boarder.
My husband and I will be recommending Grega and Hike&Bike to all our friends.
We had hoped to book onto the Full Moon Walk but due to the weather conditions Grega suggested the Lantern Walk in Bohinj. It was a really lovely experience! Communication from Grega was great before we arrived and we enjoyed learning about… More Bohinj and the local legends under the starry sky. Grega kindly took some great photos too!

Highly recommend Hike and Bike Adventures. We hired 2 gravel bikes that were really well maintained and were robust on gravel but fast on the road. Grega showed us some great routes and we had one of the best holidays ever. Nothing was… More too much trouble and I would definitely recommend their bike hire and tours. We are excited to book our next trip already!
My wife and I are avid cyclists and utilized Hike and Bike to coordinate our self guided trek from the Julian Alps to the Adriatic Sea. Grega was very responsive and attentive to our requests. He did a great job communicating and assisting… More us in planning our two week adventure. The ride was brutally fun climbing lots and travel on paved country roads. The route also included some gravel. We highly recommend and will be using him again when we return in the future.
Super trip! I am very satisfied with the services I have received from Hike&Bike. Not only were they responsive from the very first moment I contacted them, but they designed for me amazing self guided hikes around Lac Bohinj, as well… More as booking accommodation. They were also very quick in answering emails and all my questions, and I had a personalized meeting on the day of my arrival to obtain all info about the hikes. I would strongly recommend using their services for your next trip to the Slovenian Alps! Thanks a lot for everything!

FAQ
Planning your active holiday in the Julian Alps
How do I get to Bohinj without a car?
By bus: Bohinj has good daily connections with the main bus station in Ljubljana and with Jesenice, along the route Bled – Bohinjska Bistrica – Ribčev Laz (Lake Bohinj). Timetables: arriva.si. By train: take the Bohinj railway, one of the most scenic and history-rich lines in Slovenia – from Jesenice or Nova Gorica to Bohinjska Bistrica. You can bring your bike on the train. Timetables: Slovenian Railways. Our rental shop is in Bohinjska Bistrica, a few minutes’ walk from the train station – pick up a bike and continue exploring the Bohinj valley on two wheels.
Where is cycling not allowed around Lake Bohinj?+
Cycling in Bohinj is limited to designated roads and paths to protect the fragile alpine environment of Triglav National Park. No cycling on the northern shore: the trail along the northern shore of Lake Bohinj is narrow, rugged and reserved for walkers only. Stay on designated paths: riding across meadows, pastures, ski slopes, wetlands, protected habitats and hiking or mountain trails is forbidden. Bikes belong on public roads, forest roads and dedicated cycling tracks. Helmets: mandatory for riders under 18 and strongly recommended for everyone. Helmets are included free with every Hike&Bike rental. Shared paths: many tracks are shared with walkers, horse riders and farm machinery. Private land: much of the land along the routes belongs to local farmers – please respect their boundaries.
What are the cycling rules in Triglav National Park?+
Permitted routes only: off-road cycling in nature is prohibited. Bikes are allowed on public roads, forest and agricultural tracks and official cycling routes such as the Juliana Bike network.
Daylight hours: cycling is allowed only in daylight, to protect wildlife at night and twilight.
Seasonal closures: some forest routes (e.g. around Pokljuka, Radovna and Vršič) close seasonally [verify exact months] to protect endangered birds such as the capercaillie and black grouse.
Trail etiquette: give way to hikers and farm vehicles, protect alpine plants and leave no trace.
Do you work with local providers?+
Yes. We believe the Julian Alps are best experienced through authenticity, respect for nature and close cooperation with locals. Many of our experiences carry the Bohinjsko / From Bohinj certificate, which guarantees quality and supports local traditions and producers.
We also hold the Bohinjsko / From Bohinj and Triglav National Park Quality Label and are the only travel agency based inside the park – our routes, tours and operations follow its sustainability goals and help protect its natural and cultural heritage.
Why choose our routes over Google Maps?+
Google Maps is great for highway driving, but in the Julian Alps it can quickly get you into trouble: Inaccurate trails: footpaths, forest tracks and gravel roads are often wrong or missing. Outdated routes: weather, landslides, logging and seasonal closures change the terrain – a trail on the map may be overgrown, washed out or closed. No elevation data: no contour lines or gradient profiles to judge how hard a route really is. No signal: mobile data often drops in deep valleys and on high passes. No legal info: it does not show where cycling is allowed and where it is prohibited. Our routes are tested on the ground and come with offline GPS navigation in the Hike&Bike Digital Guide.
Hike and Bike provide a great service. We did a family hike with Luka in Ribcev Laz area. It was a special day out. Great value for money. Very reassuring. Lots of local knowledge and information. And great food in the Mountain Hut on our … More way back down. Thank you.
