Why Hike&Bike

Local, family-run, based in Bohinj

We’re Grega and Maja, a local family outdoor team and the only travel agency based right inside Triglav National Park. We live on these trails year-round, planning and testing every route ourselves as certified hiking and cycling guides.

That local knowledge is what you get with us: routes that are legal, safe and actually passable, places to eat and stay we would recommend to our friends, and a real person on WhatsApp if anything goes wrong.

We travel light, too. As a Travelife Partner and Slovenia Green Travel Agency we work with local providers, encourage arriving by train or bus, and explore the park in a way that protects it.

FAQ

Planning your active holiday in the Julian Alps

How do I get to Bohinj without a car?

By bus: Bohinj has good daily connections with the main bus station in Ljubljana and with Jesenice, along the route Bled – Bohinjska Bistrica – Ribčev Laz (Lake Bohinj). Timetables: arriva.si.
By train: take the Bohinj railway, one of the most scenic and history-rich lines in Slovenia – from Jesenice or Nova Gorica to Bohinjska Bistrica. You can bring your bike on the train. Timetables: Slovenian Railways.
Our rental shop is in Bohinjska Bistrica, a few minutes’ walk from the train station – pick up a bike and continue exploring the Bohinj valley on two wheels.

Where is cycling not allowed around Lake Bohinj?+

Cycling in Bohinj is limited to designated roads and paths to protect the fragile alpine environment of Triglav National Park.
No cycling on the northern shore: the trail along the northern shore of Lake Bohinj is narrow, rugged and reserved for walkers only.
Stay on designated paths: riding across meadows, pastures, ski slopes, wetlands, protected habitats and hiking or mountain trails is forbidden. Bikes belong on public roads, forest roads and dedicated cycling tracks.
Helmets: mandatory for riders under 18 and strongly recommended for everyone. Helmets are included free with every Hike&Bike rental.
Shared paths: many tracks are shared with walkers, horse riders and farm machinery.
Private land: much of the land along the routes belongs to local farmers – please respect their boundaries.

What are the cycling rules in Triglav National Park?+

Permitted routes only: off-road cycling in nature is prohibited. Bikes are allowed on public roads, forest and agricultural tracks and official cycling routes such as the Juliana Bike network.

Daylight hours: cycling is allowed only in daylight, to protect wildlife at night and twilight.

Seasonal closures: some forest routes (e.g. around Pokljuka, Radovna and Vršič) close seasonally [verify exact months] to protect endangered birds such as the capercaillie and black grouse.

Trail etiquette: give way to hikers and farm vehicles, protect alpine plants and leave no trace.

Do you work with local providers?+

Yes. We believe the Julian Alps are best experienced through authenticity, respect for nature and close cooperation with locals. Many of our experiences carry the Bohinjsko / From Bohinj certificate, which guarantees quality and supports local traditions and producers.

We also hold the Bohinjsko / From Bohinj and Triglav National Park Quality Label and are the only travel agency based inside the park – our routes, tours and operations follow its sustainability goals and help protect its natural and cultural heritage.

Why choose our routes over Google Maps?+

Google Maps is great for highway driving, but in the Julian Alps it can quickly get you into trouble:
Inaccurate trails: footpaths, forest tracks and gravel roads are often wrong or missing.
Outdated routes: weather, landslides, logging and seasonal closures change the terrain – a trail on the map may be overgrown, washed out or closed.
No elevation data: no contour lines or gradient profiles to judge how hard a route really is.
No signal: mobile data often drops in deep valleys and on high passes.
No legal info: it does not show where cycling is allowed and where it is prohibited.
Our routes are tested on the ground and come with offline GPS navigation in the Hike&Bike Digital Guide.
