Cycling Routes Around Bled for Every Level

Bled isn’t just a destination for hikers and romantics — it’s also a genuine paradise for cyclists. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced mountain biker, the surrounding area offers a wide range of routes combining sporting challenge, natural beauty and breathtaking views.

Around Lake Bled — an easy family ride

Distance: 6 km. Difficulty: very easy. This route is ideal for an unhurried, scenic loop around the lake, and pairs perfectly with a stop for coffee, a slice of the famous Bled cream cake, or a picnic by the water.

Bled – Bohinjska Bela – Iglica

Distance: 14 km loop. Difficulty: moderate. The route passes the gorge on its way to the viewpoint near Iglica waterfall — well worth a short walk to the waterfall itself.

Bled – Pokljuka – Zajamniki

Distance: 40 km. Difficulty: high, mountain biking. The forests of Pokljuka provide the perfect natural backdrop for more demanding riders, with a stop at the Zajamniki mountain pasture along the way.
