Cycle route Cerklje 7: Jezerca

One of the most famous road bike climbs in Slovenia. The steep and long cycle route takes you over 1000 metres in altitude on the asphalt road to Jezerce pod Krvavcem.

It's a popular training (and racing) route, so you won't be alone on the road. The route is steep, with a gradient of 10-15% and some 'break' sections in the middle. But it's not all 'sweat and pain', as the route rewards you with amazing views and sights along the way. The total elevation gain of the route is 1,025 metres over a distance of 13.3 km.

If you need a goal and motivation for your training... the record time for the route is 39 minutes.

The cycle path starts at TIC Cerklje and leads north along the main road to the village of Grad, where it turns right onto a steep slope. After two kilometres, just before the village of Ravne, it leads steeply left past the hamlets of Pri Gozdu and Ambrož pod Krvavec to the end point at the Jezerca Plain (car park) at an altitude of 1,420 m. The total elevation gain of the route is 1,025 metres over a distance of 13.3 km. The route then follows the same route back to the starting point at TIC Cerklje. In the village of Ambrož pod Krvavecem there is an inn with an exceptional panoramic view where you can get refreshments. The orientation on the route is not demanding.
