Barjanka

Barjanka, a cycling event within the BTC City Franja Marathon, will present to cycling lovers the natural beauty of Ljubljana Marshes. It will also recall the beginnings of cycling competitions when they were still held on macadam roads.

Barjanka is a recreational cycling event that brings together local communities, municipalities, providers, and associations. The 77 km route runs through all the municipalities within the Ljubljansko Barje Landscape Park.

The event revives the spirit of early cycling races on gravel roads and showcases the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Ljubljansko Barje. Among its remarkable archaeological discoveries is a disc-shaped wooden wheel with an axle, over 5,000 years old, found in 2002 at the Stara Gmajna pile-dwelling site.
