Similar as the bike route running to the east up to Rateče, you can also take the track of the former disused railway to the west - to Jesenice. Being very easy, this track is very family-oriented. The only “problem” might be the length of the route. Moreover, when returning, the track ascends gently along the Sava Dolinka Valley towards Kranjska Gora.
Through all the time, the track leads you near the water which offers pleasant freshness in summer. The path winds between the woody Karavanke Mountains and the rocky as well as high Julian Alps. Very soon after leaving Kranjska Gora and crossing the Sava River at Gozd Martuljek, you take the cycling track again. From there, you can admire the spectacular view of the Špik Mountains group. This is the only section of the cycling track to Jesenice, where you have to take the main road so proceed with caution.
The next village you ride through is Mojstrana. From there, the three valleys of Vrata, Kot and Krma open up to the south towards the foothills of Triglav. What is more, you can cycle through the Radovna Valley which takes you to Bled as well.
In Mojstrana, the path takes you again to the right bank of the Sava River under the steep slopes of the Mežakla plateau. Along the main road, the bike track reaches Jesenice. Now it’s time for going back - you take the same cycling track; it leads you against the flow and a bit uphill.
