01 Day – Arrival

Welcome to Slovenia, Bled – Imago Paradisi. Settle in your cozy hotel room and make yourself at ease. When ready, shake off your legs with an easy walk in the area if you would like.
Tonight we celebrate the beginning of this adventure with a dinner at our favourite local restaurant, to get to know each other and do a plan for the upcoming days. 

02 Day – Bled Lake, Pokljuka and Bohinj Lake

The circle around Lake Bled is simply a must. However, it can be upgraded with an ascent to the castle with a beautiful view of the lake and its surroundings, which we will explore. 

Afterwards, we would ride the climb to Pokljuka plateau, which is part of Triglav national park and where you can find the biathlon world cup race in the winter. The views are amazing all over the quality forest area in Slovenia. 

The road from Pokljuka to Bohinj Lake is a scenic route that passes through the beautiful countryside of Slovenia. Starting from Pokljuka, the road winds its way downhill through lush forests and meadows, providing stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

As you descend further, the road becomes narrower and more winding, but the views only get better. You’ll pass by quaint little villages, traditional wooden houses, and picturesque farmhouses that dot the landscape.

As you approach Bohinj Lake, the road opens up and provides panoramic views of the stunning turquoise waters of the lake, surrounded by towering mountains. The road follows the shoreline of the lake, providing plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the views.

Getting back to Bled through the gorge to have some well deserved dinner.

03 Day – Kranjska Gora, Vršič Pass, Mangart Saddle

30min drive with a van to start point in Kranjska Gora, to do the queen stage.

Road cycling from Kranjska Gora to Vršič Pass and Mangart Saddle is a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience for cycling enthusiasts. The route takes you through some of the most beautiful and breathtaking landscapes in Slovenia, with stunning views of the Julian Alps and the Soca River valley.

The ascent to Vršič Pass is the highlight of the ride, with 24 hairpin turns and a total elevation gain of over 1,200 meters. The views from the top are spectacular, with panoramic views of the Julian Alps and the surrounding valleys.

From Vršič Pass, the route descends towards the town of Bovec, passing through the beautiful Trenta valley and the towering peaks of the Mangart massif. The climb to Mangart Saddle is another challenging ascent, with steep gradients and switchbacks that take you to an altitude of 2,055 meters. The views from the top are breathtaking, with a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

Overall, the road cycling route from Kranjska Gora to Vršič Pass and Mangart Saddle is a challenging but unforgettable experience for cyclists who love steep climbs, sweeping descents, and breathtaking mountain scenery.

The route can be of course shorten and made easier.

In the meantime, the locals in Bled area are preparing us a dinner already. 🙂

04 Day – Radovljica, Jamnik and Soriška planina

First, a coffee stop near Bled – Radovljica. Radovljica Old Town is a charming and picturesque historic district located in the heart of the town of Radovljic. The Old Town is situated on a small hill overlooking the Sava River valley and is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and quaint cobbled streets.

The route continues to the historic ironworking village of Kropa, located in the foothills of the Julian Alps, and ends at the picturesque hilltop settlement of Jamnik.

The climb to Jamnik is challenging but rewarding, with stunning views of the surrounding countryside at every turn. The route follows a winding road that ascends gradually towards the summit, with several steep sections that can be quite challenging for cyclists.

From Jamnik, the route takes cyclists along a winding road that ascends towards the summit of Soriška Planina, a high plateau that offers spectacular views of the Julian Alps and the surrounding valleys. The ascent is steep and challenging, with several switchbacks and gradients that can reach over 10%.

Route can also be shorten. After the tour we say goodbye with unforgettable memories and plans for the next ride on a road bike. 🙂

Took a guided tour last week with Blaz and I was delighted. Very knowledgeable and a really nice guy. We had a great chat about Slovenia which he is rightly very proud of. Bikes are good quality and well maintained. I highly recommend this tour company. David from Ireland.

What a great afternoon we had with Blaz! While visiting Ljublana for a few days (interrail) we wanted to find an opportunity to see the national park and Bled. Super to do this together with Blaz and on the e-mountainbikes of Discover By Bike. Blaz is very flexible, knows a lot about the history and culture and shares this with his guests. He even took a picnic with him to share some local food while we were at the lake.Amazing countryside, fantastic trip, and by using e-mountain bikes you can make the tour as heavy as you like (challenge: who uses the least amount of battery during the trip 😉).We had a tour of 4,5 hours and really really enjoyed it! Would recommend this to all.

After a week working in Ljubljana, I had a day to spare before flying home. As a keen cyclist, I found a route I’d like to ride and then contacted Doscover By Bike to see if they would be able to hire me a bike and also a guide to ride with, as I wasn’t familiar with the area. They were incredible! They checked out my idea for a route and improved on it, suggested the direction we should do it, and Blaz set a friendly pace.I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We had the greatest day with Blaz! A highlight of our time spent in Lake Bled. It was a challenging bike ride although his bikes handled the roads perfectly! The bikes were in excellent condition and easy to use! The pedal assist was nice to have on the hills! We strolled through villages and saw Triglav National park. Had a small picnic (local salmi and cheese) by a small beautiful lake. Honestly I loved this part the best because we had some great conversation with Blaz! He was full of interesting facts and taught us about the Slovenian culture. Thanks Blaz!! We also got to meet some of his best friends when we stopped for our Bled cake! We received a great tip for pizza in a neighboring village called Baffi House of Pizza! We tried that the next day!! Blaz is now considered our friend in Slovenia!

An absolute must for anyone visiting Slovenia. I am not normally one to rate tours as they can be very standard and generic but this tour is a one off experience that you will not undergo if you were not with a local.Blaz took us on the most fun and incredible bike ride suited to our ability and needs. He took us to all the beautiful places that tourists do not get to so you get to experience all of the beautiful areas to yourself. We met some local people along the way, learnt about the local culture and ways, ate the local foods & drinks.Blaz himself was a incredibly caring man who will look after you for the day. Great conversation along the route.Thanks Blaz :-)

We spent the most fantastic morning with Blaz on Ebikes leaving from Bled and into the surroundings. The bikes were outstanding and he knows all sorts of interesting stuff about the area. He also supplied lunch of local produce. Definitely recommend anyone to spend time riding with this company if you are visiting Bled.

Just returned from a fantastic trip with Blaz. He is very knowledgeable about the local area and I would never have seen as much as I did if I had gone alone. He was very flexible and arranged the trip for me at very short notice. The surrounding area is stunning and the bikes were top of the range. I can’t recommend Blaz more highly!

He fixed me a bike super fast and also made some routes so I could have a nice experience in the beautiful moutains around Bled.If you want to know anything about going on a bike adventure he’s your man. I’ll be coming back next year with a small group to do an longer bike trip for sure!

Amazing tour and company riding with Blaž! We truly got to know Slovenia much more during our adventurous ride as he took us through the country, local spots, history, and mountains while sharing so many wonderful stories with us. We already look forward to coming back for more!

We recently took an e-bike trip as a part of our teambuilding event in Kranjska Gora, and it was really an excellent experience. Although the team members had various biking experiences and background, the route was doable for everybody. With interesting and funny facts about the area which our tour guide Blaž told us along the way, the biking trip turned into funny, interesting, and really relaxed biking experience. Highly recommended 😊 to all who wants to have awesome time on a bike.

We went on a bit different tour with Blaž - to the coast of Croatia (Istria). The seaside is amazing, and he is making sure that everyone in the group is doing well. The tour was a mixture of countryside, seaside and old city centres. You don’t need to be a big fan of cycling (I’m not), but the bike tour was really great experience. I would recommend this tour to a variety of people. 😁😊
