For your first ride, will take you from lake Bled over the famous Pokljuka plateau all the way to the Bohinj valley that is located heart of the Triglav national park. You will have the chance to do a very nice climb, ride over some spectacular alpine meadows, stop for lunch in a typical mountain hut and enjoy a beautiful descend that will end by the largest permanent lake in Slovenia.

The end of the ride is a very nice descent all the way to charming Kobarid town. Just before you reach the town you can also visit the Kozjek waterfall that definitely won't leave you cold hearted.

A big day is ahead of you as you will cross the highest mountain pass in Slovenia, Vrisc 1611m. Your ride will start in Trenta valley and before you really hit the 26 hear pins of the pass we suggest to do a short hike to the Soca river spring. This is where you will say goodbye to Soca valley and climb on the scenic road that was build by the Russian prisoners during WW1. It's a must do climb for every cyclist in Slovenia, so you shouldn't miss it as well. Once you reach the top take a break in one of the mountain huts, before you get off the tarmac and onto the old gravel road that will bring you super close to the mt. Prisank north wall. If you look close you will spot the face of "the pegan gril" that is forever trapped in the mountain. First part of the descent is on a beautiful trail and later you join the main road towards Kranjska Gora. Just before the end of the descend you will turn into Krnica valley and ride all the way to Jasna lake where we suggest a short stop.

Once you reach Mojstrana village we invite you to visit the Slovenian alpine museum and take a brake in the village that also has the only Olympic square in Slovenia dedicated to many olympians that represented Slovenia at the Olympic games throughout the years.
