The best traffic-free bike rides around Jesenice

In the lower part of the valley, a small, artificial lake called Kreda is hidden. It was formed in the excavation of a former chalk mine (where chalk was extracted here for cement production). Today, the water in the lake has an amazing, milky pastel light-green color, and the bottom is covered with soft marl. Local cyclists and runners treat it as a secret point on the map – an ideal, secluded place to get off the bike halfway through the route and jump into the water for a quick, refreshing cool-down.

Beautiful D2 railway path with some bridges.

Very scenic rapids near Krnica with a great play of colors.

A perfect cycle path that satisfies the demands of all cyclists. The route sections were predominantly built on the trackbed of the former Jesenice-Tarvis railway line. Numerous info boards provide information about the past.

A fantastic valley route through nature on a paved, asphalt road. It runs partly along the river and offers numerous historical rarities and finds to see. Coming from Bled, the valley narrows noticeably and opens up again towards the end.

The Radovna stream valley is wonderful, and so is the whole massif. Perfect asphalt road, and there are also sights.

The enchanting Lake Bohinj is Slovenia's largest natural lake and an absolute dream destination in the heart of the iconic Triglav National Park. While the nearby Lake Bled is often lively and touristy, Bohinj retains a wonderfully calm, pure, and pristine atmosphere where the rugged mountain nature takes centre stage. According to a well-known Slovenian legend, God forgot a small group of extremely humble people when dividing the earth. Because they continued to wait patiently, he gifted them the ultimate gem he had secretly kept for himself: the Bohinj valley. The name of the lake therefore directly derives from the word 'Boh', meaning 'God'. The lake, over four kilometres long and up to 45 metres deep, is a gigantic body of water. It contains so much crystal-clear mountain water that if you were to drain the lake all at once, the water level in the surrounding area would immediately rise noticeably. On the eastern side of the lake, near the picturesque village of Ribčev Laz, you'll find the famous stone bridge and the historic Church of St. John the Baptist. This is one of the most photographed spots in the entire country and houses centuries-old frescoes that give the scenery an almost fairytale-like quality. The crystal-clear water is primarily fed by ice-cold mountain rivers and underground springs. From the shore, you can see fish swimming metres deep, although a dip in the summer requires a bit of perseverance as the mountain water always remains refreshingly cold. Whether you opt for a relaxing walk along the shore, a canoe trip across the mirror-smooth water, or take the cable car to the top of Vogel mountain for a breathtaking view from above: Lake Bohinj is guaranteed to enchant you from the very first moment!
