Trip Feedback

Another fantastic location for family cycling

Another fantastic location for family cycling. A good mix of routes. The rep on the ground was very helpful and thorough. He offered to do the plateau trip whichever day we wanted, which was good as we re-ordered the cycling days. Our favorite day was Lake Bohinj and Vogel Mountain, followed by The Gorges Loop and Begunje Village.

Pedal your way around the impossibly picturesque Lake Bled and through the scenic valleys of the Julian Alps on this Slovenian family cycling holiday. From a base in the town of Bled itself, visitors are able to explore the surrounding landscape at their own pace, with plenty of gentle routes and the flexibility to take a break from cycling to enjoy rowing or swimming in the thermal spring pools. Kids will love taking a traditional Pletna boat to Bled Island, where they can ring the church bell and make a wish. Don’t forget to try the famous Bled cream cakes.

The fairytale Lake Bled, flanked by the Julian Alps, makes a picturesque location for a family cycling break. Highlights include a visit to the medieval Bled Castle perched on a cliff overlooking a lake, a traditional Pletna boat ride over to Bled Island and a cable-car ride up Mount Vogel. If you tire of being in the saddle, exercise some different muscles with a row across the lake or a swim in the thermal spring pools. Stay at a family-friendly hotel.
