A demanding tour that can be made on mountain bikes, leads us across famous Bohinj pastures. The tour starts at the Senožeta car park on the edge of Srednja vas and takes you through the village, where the ascent starts along the stone road to Uskovnica pasture. Freshen up at the alpine hut and then continue across the pasture towards Rudno polje, at the Razpotje crossroads turn towards the Praprotnica and Zajamniki pastures. We recommend you rest on Zajamniki pasture, from where you can admire the beautiful view of Lake Bohinj, the Bohinj and Tolmin mountains and Triglav. After a short stop, continue along the stone road past the pastures to Goreljek, where you come to an asphalt road and descend to Koprivnik, Jereka, Češnjica and the starting point.

Turn-by-turn directions

The tour starts at the Senožeta car park on the edge of Srednja vas. When you come to the village, turn left towards Stara Fužina. Before the end of the village, cross the bridge over Ribnica brook and turn right. Follow the asphalt road which, at the edge of the village, continues as stone road to Uskovnica pasture. Ascend for 7 km. When you come to the first houses, follow the signs for Planinska koča na Uskovnici alpine hut, where you can make a stop. Continue cycling past the small chapel on the pasture (left side) and towards Rudno polje; at the Razpotje crossroads turn towards the Praprotnica and Zajamniki pastures (attention: the second crossroad). Follow the forest road that ascends and descends. We recommend you rest on Zajamniki pasture, from where you can admire the beautiful view of Lake Bohinj, the Bohinj and Tolmin mountains and Triglav. After a short stop, continue along the stone road past the pastures to Goreljek, where you come to an asphalt road and turn right to descend to Koprivnik. Continue cycling to Jereka in the Upper Bohinj Valley.
