Description

Certainly! Here is the bicycle trip program translated into English as HTML text for your website: ```html

Day 1: Lake Bled
Individual arrival in Bled, a city world-famous for its location on the shores of a beautiful glacial lake. The famous church on the islet rising in the middle of this large water mirror, surrounded by imposing Alpine mountains, and the castle perched on a cliff guarding the city make Bled one of the most beloved destinations in Slovenia. For the rest of the day, you can choose from various activities in Bled: you can visit the island church and admire its ornate golden altar, or walk up to the castle to enjoy the spectacular view of the glacial valley. In the evening, try the local specialty, cream cake, in one of the lakeside cafes, or visit one of the numerous bars and restaurants.

Day 2: Bled – Bohinjska Bistrica (27 or 43 km; +130/-830 m)
After breakfast, a bus transfer will take you to the Pokljuka Plateau. From here, you can admire the breathtaking view before descending into the nearby Bohinj Valley, a gem in the heart of Triglav National Park. You will pass through numerous small Alpine villages scattered throughout the valley until you reach the small settlement of Ribčev Laz next to the splendid Lake Bohinj. Located at the corner of a closed valley, Bohinj is the largest and deepest lake within the national park. This lake, surrounded by bright mountain peaks, offers a breathtaking view from the Ribčev Laz bridge. Then, cycle around the lake to the Savica Waterfall, the source of the Sava Bohinjka River, before taking the cable car to Mount Vogel, where you will enjoy spectacular views of the Bohinj Valley and Mount Triglav, the highest peak of the Julian Alps. Explore the forests surrounding the lake before spending the evening in one of the cozy village pubs and trying the homemade honey brandy.

Day 3: Bohinjska Bistrica – Škofja Loka (49 km; +900/-1050 m)
Leaving Bohinj, you will reach the charming village of Bohinjska Bistrica, where you can admire the picturesque landscape. Then, ascend to 750m on the Jelovica Plateau (an elevator is available to reach the top of the mountain pass at an additional cost of 20€ per person), and continue through a forest that will accompany you along the descent into the Selška Dolina Valley, leading to the hills of Škofja Loka. The first stop is the small Alpine village of Sorica, nestled between low green hills. This is the hometown of the famous Slovenian painter Ivan Grohar. If interested, you can visit the gallery hosting an exclusive collection of his works. The next stop is the historic iron town of Železniki, where you will find the remains of an old blast furnace dating back to 1826. You can stop at one of the village inns along the way and taste the delicious trout. Finally, you will arrive in the wonderful town of Škofja Loka, one of the oldest towns in Slovenia. If you're not too tired, you can cycle up to the castle on the hill overlooking the town. Spend the rest of the evening wandering the ancient streets of this historic medieval town.

Day 4: Škofja Loka – Preddvor – Predoslje (45 km; +250/-190 m)
Leaving Škofja Loka, you will cross the vast Sora Plain with the majestic peaks of the Kamnik and Savinja Alps as a backdrop. The route will take you past Kranj, the fourth largest city in Slovenia. The day ends in Preddvor, where you will spend the night. Near your hotel, you will find a pond located in the shade of the beautiful Kamnik-Savinja Alps. If it's warm enough, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the pure and refreshing Alpine water before dinner.

Day 5: Predoslje – Radovljica (46 km; +600/-530 m)
Today's stage, mostly flat with some gentle hills, will take you to discover Kranj, the capital of Carniola. The route will then take you through the charming village of Kropa, where you will find the Iron Forging Museum, dedicated to the town's history linked to skilled blacksmiths and miners. You can also learn to make your own nail and take it home with you as an original souvenir! We recommend lunch at a small restaurant near Radovljica Castle. Then, cycle along the Kamnik-Savinja Alps to Radovljica, with its beautifully preserved historic center and an interesting beekeeping museum.

Day 6: Radovljica – Kranjska Gora (50 or 63 km; +600/-280 m)
Today's stage will take you along the edge of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps to the historic village of Begunje: it is in this small settlement that one of the darkest moments in Slovenia's history took place. Visit the Hostage Museum and learn about the tragic story of thousands of men, women, and children beaten and executed during the German occupation in World War II. After about 2 km along the road, you will encounter the ruins of Kamen Castle. With the sun lighting up the mountains, continue along the cycle path running between the mountain ranges of the Julian Alps and the Karawanke Mountains, to Kranjska Gora, a famous Alpine town known for its ski resorts but also a great center for many summer activities. Along the way, you can make a short detour to the Spik Mountain viewpoint, considered one of Slovenia's most challenging peaks to climb. If you have plenty of time, you can also take a trip to the Planica Valley, a world-famous location for ski jumping championships. Many of the longest jumps, including the current world record, have been made here.

Day 7: Kranjska Gora – Bled (40 km; +290/-620 m)
The final bike stage will take you back to the heart of Triglav National Park, following the Sava Dolinka River as it makes its way south to join the Sava Bohinjka, becoming the longest river in Slovenia. From Mojstrana, head into the lush green Krma Valley: this verdant valley leads through a forest dotted with World War II monuments and traditional farms, one of which has been converted into a museum. You can have lunch at the refuge at the foot of Triglav, the most imposing mountain of the Julian Alps, while enjoying the breathtaking scenery of this beautiful Alpine landscape. From here, cross the Radovna Valley, between the Pokljuka and Mežakla plateaus, and once out of the valley, make a brief detour to the stunning Vintgar Gorge, carved 150 meters deep into the mountains by the Radovna River. The gorge was discovered by the town mayor in 1891, who then worked to build walkways and open the site to the public. We recommend tasting the trout at the restaurant at the entrance of the gorge before heading towards Bled, where you will spend the night.

Day 8: Bled
After breakfast, end of services and individual departure.

What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.

We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.

The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
