Cycling to Peričnik Waterfall from Bled, Slovenia
E-bike through Triglav National Park to a waterfall you can walk behind, with a farm lunch.
The Radovna Valley runs from Bled into Triglav National Park, a quiet strip of meadows, forest and old farmhouses that most visitors to the lake never see. Near Mojstrana it reaches Peričnik, a tall waterfall with a path that takes you behind the falling water.
The tour we link to does the trip on e-bikes in a small group of up to eight. You ride through the valley to Peričnik, walk about 15 minutes up to the falls, then continue into the Vrata Valley for a look at the north face of Triglav, Slovenia’s highest mountain. Lunch is at a farm in the valley, and there is an optional stop at the Pocar Homestead, an old farmhouse museum.
The e-bike does most of the climbing, so you need moderate fitness but no mountain biking experience. The day takes six to eight hours and finishes back in Bled.

Who is it for?
Best for: Active travellers staying in Bled who want a day in the mountains without a hard climb. Families with older children do well too: riders must be at least seven.
Skip it if: You can’t ride a bike confidently, or you only have half a day. The tour takes most of a day, and the transfer back to Ljubljana leaves in the evening.
