Details

Bled, Slovenia, is a destination where emerald waters, limestone cliffs, and lush valleys converge to create one of Central Europe's most dynamic outdoor playgrounds. At the heart of this natural mosaic, FunTurist offers a one-day e-mountain bike rental that makes traversing this landscape an accessible thrill. Using the Scott Aspect 910 2017 model, riders have a versatile machine that handles the varied terrain from gentle paths around the lake to rugged trails through the Radovna Valley and the famous Vintgar Gorge.

What sets FunTurist apart in Bled's outdoor scene is this blend of freedom and support—choose to ride solo and set your own pace or book a guided journey that reveals hidden corners and local insights. The Vintgar Gorge, a narrow limestone canyon carved by the Radovna River, is a must; its wooden walkways hover over rapids and waterfalls, giving an intimate view of this geological marvel formed during the last Ice Age. Nearby, the Radovna Valley offers expansive views of alpine meadows, old farmsteads, and thick beech forests, habitats for deer and elusive foxes.

Bled itself is known worldwide for its iconic church on a lake island and clifftop castle, but the surrounding backcountry offers a quieter, more tactile connection to Slovenia’s outdoor heritage. FunTurist’s e-bikes lower the barrier to discovering this terrain, making it an ideal choice for riders seeking to enjoy hours of adventure without the grind of constant pedaling.

Every ride with FunTurist promises fresh perspectives on a region where adventure tourism meets careful stewardship; local operators emphasize sustainable practices to preserve these wild spaces. Whether a steep uphill or a gentle glide beside the lake, these bikes open up a world of varied terrain under the crisp alpine sun—making the 24-hour rental perfect for day-trippers or basecamp adventurers aiming to soak in Bled’s landscape with ease and exhilaration.
