FOG
A green capital, car free at the centre

Walk Ljubljana along the river

Ljubljana is a small, green capital with a car free centre and a river lined with cafes and bridges. FOG hides the map until you walk it, and the whole centre can be cleared in a weekend.

The river centre

The Ljubljanica river runs through the heart of the city, lined with willow trees, terraces and a series of bridges. Preseren Square, with its pink church, sits by the Triple Bridge. The Dragon Bridge, with its bronze dragons, and the covered market stand nearby.

Much of the centre was shaped by the architect Joze Plecnik, whose bridges, colonnades and riverbanks give the city its character. The old town streets on the far bank are closed to cars.

Castle and park

Ljubljana Castle stands on a hill above the old town, reached by a funicular or by footpaths through the woods. Tivoli Park, to the west, is a large green space that leads into forested hills.

For a long walk, the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship circles the city for over 30 kilometres along the line of the wartime fence, now a green trail. Even a section of it draws a strong line on the map.

Coverage

The centre is compact and flat by the river, so it fills quickly. Metelkova, an alternative culture centre in old barracks, is a short walk north.

Winters are cold and foggy, and summers warm. The riverside is lively all year.

How FOG keeps score here

FOG starts with the whole world under fog. Every place you physically walk clears a circle of roughly 120 metres around you, and that ground stays clear for good. It keeps working with the app closed and the screen off once you allow background location, so the walk to dinner counts as much as the planned loop.

There is no account, no sign-up and no cloud. The trail lives on your phone and nowhere else, and you can export a GPX backup whenever you like. Exploring is free; one purchase of FOG Unlimited adds the higher ranks, all five character paths and history import, with no subscription.
