Your Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1 - Touch Down in Bled
Touch down in Bled and breathe in the crisp alpine air – your adventure starts here. Nestled in the heart of Slovenia, Bled is the stuff of postcards, with its fairy-tale lake, cliff-top castle, and the iconic island church. Your 4-star hotel (such as Hotel Lovec) sits right in the town centre, making it easy to head out and explore. Don’t leave without trying a slice of Kremšnita cream cake – ideally on the sunny terrace of the Park Hotel.

15km total distance
Ease into the trip with a relaxed loop around Lake Bled. Pedal up to the castle for panoramic views, then take a traditional Pletna boat or grab the oars yourself for a visit to the island church. If you're chasing the ultimate Instagram shot, hike up to Osojnica, the view is worth every step.

What our Cyclists Say
Awesome customer Service like it used to be. When planning my husband's 50th birthday and knowing very little about cycling I decided to try Love Velo and I can't recommend them, and the service I've received from James Danvers highly enough.

I booked through Love Velo because the reviews were so good. I wasn't disappointed. Right from my first contact with LV they were easy to talk to and although I dithered (my first cycling trip abroad) they didn't press me. When I eventually confirmed my booking they took care of everything.

Everything about Love Velo has been faultless. From the initial notification of them teaming up with Le Col and to the pricing being unbelievable and then the customer service, top class. James, if all the staff are as attentive to every detail as you are then everyone will be as lucky as I have been. 100% at some point, hopefully in the near future I will be booking again with you guys. Thank you again
