Kolesarska Jakobova pot Slovenija Camino Self-Guided: Stages, Accommodations & Map 2026
The Kolesarska Jakobova pot in Slovenia comes in four official cycling variants: from Slovenska vas to Trst/Trieste, from Ljubljana to Sveti Višarije, from Kobilje to Ljubljana, and from Novo mesto to Ljubljana. That gives you routes heading towards Italy as well as cross-country connections through Slovenia.
The Kolesarska Jakobova pot in Slovenia isn’t one single 320,0-km route. It’s a project with four official, waymarked main variants. According to the official website, these are Slovenska vas → Trst/Trieste (Šentjakobska, 335 km/5270 m), Ljubljana → Sveti Višarije (Višarska, 165 km/2070 m), Kobilje → Ljubljana (Prekmursko-štajerska, 265 km/2800 m) and Novo mesto → Ljubljana (Belokranjsko-kocevska, 260 km/3960 m). If you’re planning this yourself, that’s the upside: you pick the variant that fits your time and fitness, and you get official distances and elevation figures to work with. The downside is you’ll need to double-check more, because the sources don’t give solid detail on surface, path quality, or how reliable the signage is. Depending on the variant, this suits experienced tourers who don’t mind climbing; with an e-bike, planning feels a lot less stressful. Use the official variants as a framework and stitch together your own cycling trip from there.

Conclusion
What the Kolesarska Jakobova pot does well is the clear setup: four official variants with stated distances and elevation. The weak point for DIY planners: the official sources don’t give dependable info on surfaces, the exact line of the route, or signage on the ground. If you’re flexible and can handle a bit of uncertainty around infrastructure, it’s still a solid base to build your own trip.
