ITINERARY
9:30 AM - Starting Point in Bohinjska Bistrica
The starting point for the day trip around the Bohinj area is in Bohinjska Bistrica, where you will meet your guide and get a bike and a helmet if you have previously booked. There is a possibility that we can pick you up at your accommodation. This option is on request.
10:30 AM - Arriving in Ribčev Laz – Bohinj Lake
After biking along the Sava Bohinjka River for about an hour, you will arrive in the small village of Ribčev Laz, the main gateway to Lake Bohinj in Slovenia’s Julian Alps. At the village’s edge, the landscape opens up to a spectacular panorama of Lake Bohinj. Its crystal‑clear water is so transparent that you can easily spot fish swimming below the surface. Lake Bohinj offers other highlights: the Church of St. John the Baptist, a masterpiece of Carniolan church architecture, and the old stone bridge, a popular spot for taking photos. Another highlight is the Monument to Four Courageous Men, a memorial dedicated to the first ascent to Mount Triglav in 1778.
12:00 PM - Stara Fužina – Mostnica Gorge - Devil's Bridge
As you continue your biking journey, you'll ride alongside the picturesque Mostnica stream until you reach the charming village of Stara Fužina. The Mostnica stream flows into the River Sava Bohinjka, creating breathtaking waterfalls and rapids along its course. One of the highlights of this route is the impressive Devil's Bridge, constructed in the 18th century, which spans the steep Mostnica Gorge. However, the view from the bridge may not be suitable for everyone due to its vertiginous height. The bridge owes its name to a fascinating folk legend, which your guide will be delighted to tell you about.
1:30 PM - Return to Bohinjska Bistrica
You can expect to arrive back in Bohinjska Bistrica at approximately 1:30 PM (the biking time may vary depending on your bike type, route selection, and cycling conditions). Along the way, you will have the chance to see charming villages with traditional alpine architecture. If you are inspired to explore more of the Bohinj Valley, we would be happy to organise a customised trip for you. Don’t hesitate to contact us for more details.

Lake Bohinj lies in the heart of Triglav National Park and is often described as one of Europe’s best‑kept secrets and a must-see attraction in Slovenia. This lake is the largest natural lake in Slovenia, and it is renowned for its picturesque stone bridge and the Church of St. John the Baptist. We highly recommend taking a beautiful circular walk around Lake Bohinj to appreciate its stunning natural beauty.
The Monument to the Four Courageous Men is a memorial dedicated to the first ascent of Mount Triglav, the highest mountain in Slovenia, standing at 2,864 meters. The ascent was made by a group of four local men, including a doctor, a hunter, and two miners, in 1778, which was considered a near-impossible feat at that time. The monument was erected in 1978 to honour their bravery on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the first ascent. It stands on a knoll near the Bohinj Lake.
The Church of St. John the Baptist, also known as Cerkev sv. Janeza Krstnika is one of the finest examples of traditional Carniolan church architecture in Slovenia. Famous for its beautifully preserved frescoes, it stands as one of the most iconic medieval landmarks in the Bohinj region. Although the current structure dates to 1742, the site itself has been inhabited since the 10th century. Together with the historic stone bridge beside it, the church creates a picture‑perfect scene framed by the Julian Alps, making it one of the most photographed locations around Lake Bohinj.
Mostnica Gorge and Devil's Bridge - The Mostnica River is an alpine stream in Slovenia known for its dramatic gorges, scenic waterfalls, and fast‑flowing rapids. It winds through the picturesque Voje Valley before reaching the village of Stara Fužina, creating one of the most popular nature attractions in the Bohinj area. One of the most famous sights along the Mostnica Gorge is the hollow rock known as the “Little Elephant,” shaped naturally as water carved its way through the stone. Another highlight is the Devil’s Bridge, an impressive 18th‑century structure built high above the steep gorge to transport iron ore and charcoal from the surrounding hills. The bridge takes its name from a local folk legend—one that your guide will be happy to share during the tour.
The village of Studor in Bohinj is best known for its impressive double hayracks, a unique architectural feature that greets visitors at the village entrance. Studor is also home to the Oplen House Museum, a beautifully preserved traditional farmhouse with an original black kitchen that offers insight into rural life in Slovenia. Nearby, a local ranch breeds Icelandic horses, adding to the village’s charm and appeal. Although hayracks, known as kozolci in Slovene, were originally built for drying and storing hay, their artistic craftsmanship has made them an iconic element of Slovenian vernacular architecture and a symbol of national identity.
