The 3 better experiences a Ljubljana

During the Second World War Ljubljana was encircled by a bob wire fence. It was a very difficult time for the locals: there was not enough food in the city and they were not allowed to exit and to go to the countryside as well.

After the war, in the area of the fence locals made a so-called Path of Remembrance and Friendship, a green ring around Ljubljana.

The trail is suitable for walking as well as for cycling. It is 34 km long and all the time well kept. There is an alley of more than 7000 trees and you are going to enjoy their shade throughout of the tour. 

You can start your tour at any place. The closest to the city centre is the part on the south - near Petrol gas station Barjanska 90. Later on just, follow the green and white sign.

In addition, we suggest doing the trail counter clockwise. This way you are going to have the steepest part at the beginning and later on, you can enjoy a pleasant, mainly flat ride.

The ebikes can be rented at the Center located in Ljubljana shopping area.

We invite you to join us on a discovery of Slovenian most notable architect life and work: Jože Plečnik.

With yours or ours e bikes we shall stop at some places in the city center like Market (Adamič Lundrovo Nabrežje 1), Three Bridges (Prešerov trg 1) and Congress Squre (Kongresni trg 15).

Later on, we are going to focus on his works outside of the city center: we shall reach the area of Tivoli park (Celovška cesta 23) , ride along Roman walls (Mirje 19), reach Krakovo and his home area Trnovo (Karunova ulica 4). Here we shall visit his home-museum.

After lunch in a local restaurant, we suggest to bike:

• 1: along Ljubljanica river toward Ljubljana Marshes (Črna vas 48) where his famous church has been built almost 100 years ago

• 2: to continue to Ljubljana's cementary Žale (Med hmeljniki 2) and back to the city center with a stop at another Plečnik's work: a franciscan church in Šiška (Černetova ulica 20).

This is a full day tour, easy (flat terrain), comfortable ride.

Meeting place is flexible, where the best suits to you.
