Further up the Sava valley you’ll find the bigger, more secluded Lake Bohinj. If you don’t mind being a little bit out of the way, there’s a budget hotel and hostel on the shores of the lake called Hostel Pod Voglem, which has a friendly service and bike wash facilities.

Finally, you may want to base yourself in Kranjska Gora right up in the north-west corner where Slovenia meets Italy and Austria. There are plenty of hotel options in the town, including the excellent Hotel Lek. For those on a tighter budget, however, Hostel Barovc is just a short walk out of town and has most things you’d need.

Services

There is a tourist information centre in all of the bigger towns in the area, including Bled, Bohinj, Jesenice, Kranj and Kranjska Gora. They provide excellent information and are a good source for maps as well as very good publications on other tourist attractions.

Most towns in the region will have somewhere to hire bikes, but the best place is, without a doubt, 3glav (pronounced tree-glau) Adventures (www.3glav-adventures.com). Based in Bled, they have the best hire bikes that I’ve come across in the region and they are also a rich source of information about biking and other activities in the area.
