We recommend that you plan your bicycle transport in advance and, if possible, choose dates when the train is expected to be less crowded. More information and details are available on the “Bikes on Trains” website.
From 30. 9. 2025 to 5. 7. 2027 the Jesenice railway junction and station are currently undergoing renovation. During this period, occasional train delays are possible due to reduced speeds near construction sites or track closures.
