Nice climb that is still good for the first 5 km, until the junction and the road suddenly becomes almost twice as steep! Very good tarmac, but percentages up to 10％ up to the top. Unfortunately, there are not many views, but you cycle through the forest for the most part. At the top start the ski lifts and there is a restaurant with terrace where you can drink something. Then you can enjoy the 12 km long descent (sometimes with moderate asphalt).... read more

Nice climb with little traffic. Don't forget to look back now and then for the beautiful views towards Bohinj. Also nice that there is now a separate cycle path from Bled to Bohinj Bistrica, so you can make a nice round trip. Asphalt on the other side (downhill if you cycle through) is bad, though.

Mooie klim met weinig verkeer. Vergeet niet af en toe om te kijken naar de prachtge uitzichten richting Bohinj. Fijn ook dat er nu een apart fietspad is van Bled naar Bohinj Bistrica, zodat je een mooi rondje kan maken. Asfalt aan de andere kant (afdaling als je doorfietst) is wel slecht.

Ridden on a mountain bike, with really wide tyres, and then it is anything but smooth riding. Along the way, you come across the sign 12％. This is not the real thing, but it is still a tough climb, and indeed the last few kilometres to the top are really heavy. Pay attention in the descent: the road is not wide, keep your right side, because it is not only dangerous with cars, but also with bikers.

Gereden op een Mountainbike, met echt brede banden, en dan is het toch allesbehalve soepel rijden. Onderweg kom je het bord 12％ tegen. Is wel niet de realiteit, maar toch pittige klim, en inderdaad de laatste kilometers naar de top zijn echt wel heavy. Opletten in de afdaling: de weg is niet breed, hou mooi je rechterzijde, want het is niet alleen gevaarlijk met auto's, maar ook met motards.

I also did this climb today. I think the ski station at the top is called Soriska Planina. Maarten's description tells you everything about this climb. The first part is enjoyable. Riding up a col with a nice cadence. But the last 4 km are a real countdown. It is a struggle to get the pedals around. It is very quiet by the way. Very little traffic and not a single cyclist on the climb. The forest and shade is very pleasant when it is 30° :o)

Deze klim vandaag ook gedaan. Het skistation boven heet volgens mij trouwens Soriska Planina. Beschrijving van Maarten vertelt eigenlijk alles over deze klim. Het eerste deel is genieten. Een col oprijden in een lekkere cadans. Maar de laatste 4km zijn echt aftellen. Dat is ploeteren om de pedalen rond te krijgen. Het is er overigens erg rustig. Zeer weinig verkeer en geen enkele fietser tegengekomen op de klim. Het bos en bijhorende schaduw is erg aangenaam als het 30° is :o)

Nice climb that is still good for the first 5 km, until the junction and the road suddenly becomes almost twice as steep! Very good tarmac, but percentages up to 10％ up to the top. Unfortunately, there are not many views, but you cycle through the forest for the most part. At the top start the ski lifts and there is a restaurant with terrace where you can drink something. Then you can enjoy the 12 km long descent (sometimes with moderate asphalt).

Mooie klim die de eerste 5 km nog lekker loopt, tot de splitsing en de weg ineens bijna 2 keer zo steil wordt! Wel heel goed asfalt, maar stijgingspercentages tegen de 10％ tot aan de top. Helaas niet zoveel uitzichten, maar je fietst wel grotendeels lekker door het bos. Bovenop beginnen de skiliften en is er een restaurantje met terras waar je wat kunt drinken. Daarna kun je genieten van de 12 km lange afdaling (met soms wel matig asfalt).
