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.
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.

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.
