Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival in Lake Bled. Your chosen hotel is in the town center. Bled is known for its beautiful setting, lake, castle on the rock above the lake and a pilgrimage church on the island. We liked the cream cake "Kremsnita" treat yourself on a sunny day on the terrace of Park Hotel.
Day 2: Bled - sightseeing (15 km). Introductory cycling tour is flat and goes around Lake Bled Island with Virgin Mary church (visit it by a boat, drown by local strong men or hire your own boat) and castle set on a 100 m rock above the town. We liked the "all-wishes-fulfilling" bell in the island church.
Day 3: Bled Bodesce Kropa - Bled (33 km). Days biking tour goes alongside Jelovica high-plateau and Sava River, easy, some undemanding hills. Old smithies' village of Kropa with a museum, beekeeping museum in Radovljica. Take your lunch in an old fashioned restaurant next to the castle in Radovljica.
Day 4: Bled Begunje Radovljica - Bled (43 km). Easy route, completely flat. We will see the Begunje - hometown of the famous Slavko Avsenik/ Oberkrainer band, World War 2 museum and ruins of Kamen castle. Vrba - the birthplace of many Slovenian poets and writers.
Day 5: Bled-Gorje (19 km). Cycling one gradual climb of 150 m. We liked: Pokljuka canyon - walk through a very old forest, Vintgar gorge - 1,6 km long canyon of the Radovna river. We recommend a trout lunch in the restaurant at the entrance to the gorge.
Day 6: Bled-Bohinj (44 km). Car transfer to the top of Pokljuka high plateau, then cycling 20 km downhill and alongside Sava Bohinjka river. Great scenery of alpine villages, hay racks and tasty food in local village inns. We liked: Lake Bohinj, the Savica waterfall, cable car ride up Mount Vogel, Triglav National park and quiet Alpine villages.
Day 7: Bled -Krma Valley (36 km). Cycling first through the Radovna valley to the foot of Mount Triglav, lightly climbing. Triglav National Park, very peaceful area. You will like the stunning mountain scenery on the end of the Krma valley, lunch in the mountain hut. The valley is a peaceful area of deep woods, touching monuments from World War 2 and old farmhouses; one has been adapted into a museum, even visited even by prince Charles.
Day 8: Departure from Lake Bled.
