Slovenia - Day 7 - Hotel Jelka - Dovje
This is the route we biked today
We started around 9 at a good breakfast at the hotel. A couple of kilometers on we were on a nice meadow and decided to take some pictures of our bikes.
My current setup
Cycled 2.8km, climbed 66m, currently at 1282m high.
We continued onwards and we added a detour as wel which had a shallow climb. On the way we met a Swiss gravel racer who had just done a race. After a while the route split up and we continued on. The second detour gave us a bit more trouble and we had to scout ahead for a possible way.
Bart scouting ahead
Cycled 15.1km, climbed 384m, currently at 1397m high.
After this we descended of the mountain and into the valley. We continued on to lake Bled with the idea to stay at a camping there. While cycling around the lake we really didn’t like the mass of tourists. When we arrived at the camping there was a sign it was fully booked. So we decided to ride back up the valley and ride the next part of our route.
Beautiful but too busy
Cycled 47.1km, climbed 657m, currently at 481m high.
It was a pretty good ride up and it went surprisingly well considering we ended up with around 75km at the end. But the end result was worth it as we arrived at a small camping which wasn’t too busy.
The view from our campsite
Cycled 72.5km, climbed 1109m, currently at 682m high.
Tomorrow will be the last day where we’ll ride up a valley to a hut and catch some nice views.
See you tomorrow!
