Pedaleando por los Alpes Julianos
Our next stop will be the town of Bled, famous for its stunning lake and the castle that dominates the landscape. We will enjoy the panoramic views and the unique atmosphere of this place.
On the third day, heading towards Tarvisio, we will enter Italy and witness the grandeur of the Italian Alps as we travel. Cycling through lush forests and crystal-clear rivers, we will immerse ourselves in the unspoiled nature of this region. We will spend the night in Tarvisio, a city of historical importance and a stop on the renowned Giro d'Italia cycling race.
On the fourth day, we will continue our journey along the Alpe-Adria route, a stunning trail that follows an old, disused railway line, now transformed into a cycle path. We will be treated to breathtaking views of the majestic Dolomites, an imposing mountain range in the Italian Alps.
After passing through historic cities over 1500 years old and stunning natural landscapes, we will arrive in Grado, located on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. We will feel the sea breeze and celebrate the completion of this incredible cycling experience, filled with unforgettable memories.
Get ready to explore, pedal, and marvel at every kilometer you travel. This will be a journey that awakens the senses and leaves lasting memories.

Tip for those arriving on Friday (the day before our itinerary begins) : If you have Friday free before our program starts, don't miss the "Open Kitchen" (Odprta Kuhna) open-air market in Ljubljana. This food market takes place every Friday in Pogačar Square (Pogačarjev trg) and is one of the city's most popular attractions. At the Open Kitchen, local chefs and restaurants offer a variety of dishes, from Slovenian specialties to international cuisine, all freshly prepared. It's an excellent opportunity to try different flavors and enjoy the lively outdoor atmosphere. The market usually runs from 10 am to 9 pm.
Tip for those who will have an extra day before the free itinerary: For those who can arrive a few days before the start of our itinerary, we recommend visiting the Postojna Caves (Postojnska Jama), near the city of Postojna. They are one of the country's most famous tourist attractions and are located approximately 50km southwest of the capital, Ljubljana. The caves are famous for their impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations, and for being one of the largest karst caves in Europe. Next to the caves is also Predjama Castle, a famous castle that still clings to the limestone cliffs of Slovenia. How to get there? There are regular buses (costing €1.80) that depart from Ljubljana to Postojna. The bus trip takes about an hour. Upon arriving at the Postojna bus station, you can walk or take a taxi to the caves.

This tri-national loop takes you through Slovenia, Italy, and Austria in a single ride. The day begins on bike paths through forests and alpine villages, passing through Podkoren and Rateče. The most striking climb leads to the Fusine Lakes, two glacial lakes of emerald-blue water surrounded by the cliffs of the Mangart massif—one of the most beautiful spots on the trip. Afterwards, a gentle descent leads to Tarvisio, an Italian alpine town with cafes and a mountain atmosphere.
The route follows the Alpe-Adria cycle path to Coccau/Thörl-Maglern, entering Austria, where the scenery opens up to green valleys, farms, and small villages like Arnoldstein. The return to Slovenia is gentle, along quiet country roads and cycle paths that once again wind through dense forests until reaching Kranjska Gora again.
