Bled to Bohinj via Pokljuka | Cycling in Slovenia

Bled to Bohinj via Pokljuka

This circular cycling route from Lake Bled over Pokljuka and through Bohinj is one of the most beautiful road cycling routes in Slovenia. The ride takes you from Lake Bled up to the Pokljuka Plateau, a high alpine area surrounded by forests and offering stunning views of the Julian Alps. From there, the route descends into the Bohinj Valley and follows a scenic loop past Lake Bohinj before returning back on the new cycling path from Bohinjska Bistrica to Bled. It is a perfect full-day cycling adventure that combines climbs, descents, and unforgettable alpine scenery. Ideal for experienced road cyclists looking for a more demanding yet highly scenic route in the heart of the Julian Alps.
