Nice climb with two faces, first part really tough and almost continuously around or above 10％. However, halfway up a bit to catch your breath. Then the 18％ sign, but that seems for show, max 15％ seen on the counter. Second part like flax flat to the top. Boring and straight ahead. Once at the top, unfortunately, no views.... read more

Mooie klim met twee gezichten, eerste deel echt wel stevig en bijna continu rond of boven de 10％. Wel halverwege een stukje om op adem te komen. Dan het bord 18％, maar die lijkt voor de show, max 15％ gezien op de teller. Tweede deel als vlas plat naar de top. Saai en rechtdoor. Eenmaal boven helaas geen vergezichten.

The clim is from two segments, first the stepper one and other almost flat. The first part is a bit challenging. On the top, there is a very nice gravel circle for about 25 km.

Climbed in late April 2025. There are some steep stretches at double-digit gradients on the climb. Being fairly early in the season and on a day with mixed weather conditions, I encountered very little traffic. I turned left to Gorjuse rather than going up to the ski stadium. The road conditions on the descent were rather poor with many cracks and bumps. At the bottom of the descent, you're close to the beautiful Lake Bohinj.

Again a nice climb from Bled, fits well in a tour. Lots of traffic here, but the first part of the climb nice asphalt (after a while I also went left towards Bohinj). One sign along the road indicates 18%, but that seems a bit exaggerated.

Wederom een mooie klim vanuit Bled, past goed in een rondje. Hier wel redelijk wat autoverkeer, maar het eerste deel van de klim mooi asfalt (ben na een tijd ook linksaf richting Bohinj gegaan). 1 bordje langs de kant van de weg geeft zelfs18% aan, maar dat lijkt een tikkie overdreven.

Nice climb from Bled. There are racing bikes for rent if you don't have your own. I didn't do it all the way to the stadium, but turned left after the steeper parts, direction Gorjuse. Then you have a nice downhill to the lake of Bohinj and you cycle relatively flat back to Bled (approx. 60 km).

The asphalt in the climb is good everywhere, but there are some steep parts and don't be surprised by the average as it is now, because the last part to the stadium is actually quite flat. The signs along the road indicate 14 percent and I think it's still a bit above that (in small parts).

The picture is of the descent, but that is the climb if you do it the other way around.

Lekkere klim vanuit Bled. Daar zijn racefietsen te huur als je je eigen fiets niet bij je hebt. Ik heb hem niet helemaal tot aan het stadion gedaan, maar ben linksaf geslagen na de steilere stukken, richting Gorjuse. Dan heb je een mooie afdaling richting het meer van Bohinj en fiets je relatief vlak terug naar Bled (rondje ca 60 km).

Het asfalt is in de klim overal prima, maar er zit een aantal steile stukken in en verkijk je niet op het gemiddelde zoals ie hier nu staat, want het laatste stuk naar het stadion is eigenlijk nogal vlak. De borden langs de weg geven 14 procent aan en volgens mij zit het daar (op kleine stukjes) nog wel iets boven.

De foto is van de afdaling, maar dat is de klim als je hem andersom doet.
