The Best “Local” Walk in Ljubljana
Ljubljana is famous for its walkable Old Town, bridges, and riverside cafés. The PST is different: it’s a ring of green space that shows how the city breathes on the edges.
The trail follows the line of Ljubljana’s WWII-era barbed-wire fence. Today, it’s a calm walking and cycling route—part history, part “nature reset,” and one of the best ways to see a quieter side of the city without leaving town.
The PST strategy that works for visitors
- • Don’t try to do all 33 km
- • Pick one easy segment
- • End at a park or café, then return to Old Town
Map: PST-Friendly Segments
The PST is a full ring, but the best experience is a segment. These anchors are good starting points for a “walk a little, then relax” day.
Three Easy Ways to Do the PST
1) 60–90 Minute “Local Reset” Walk
Choose a segment close to the center, walk for an hour, then finish with coffee. This is the best option if you want “PST vibes” without turning the day into a long trek.
2) Bike a Segment (Low Effort, High Range)
Cycling a segment gives you more scenery without more planning. It’s a great add-on to a trip where your other days are mostly Old Town walks.
3) PST + River Day (Best Balance)
Do a short PST segment in the morning, then return to the river for the afternoon. Ljubljana feels best when you mix green space with water-and-streets.
What to Bring
- • Comfortable walking shoes
- • Water (especially in warmer months)
- • A light layer—shade and wind can change the feel quickly
