    D2 is the most popular cycling route in Slovenia, but only in the upper part, where it is a separate asphalt bike trail and is known as the Jure Robič cycling trail. The route follows the Sava river from Rateče on the SLO/IT border, all the way down to Brežice on the south, passing Ljubljana on the way.

     

    The route is marked with red plates and the marking D2. Most of it runs on local roads, with little traffic.

    Author’s recommendation

    Although the route is marked, have a GPX track as well.
