Route

Tour profile/ level 2:

Quiet side roads and cycle paths. In Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary, the cycle path network is barely developed - here mostly side roads, briefly also on less busy main roads. Climbs are to be expected on all routes, which are always rewarded with great views and fast descents.

Individual arrival. Get your vacation off to a gentle start and enjoy the idyllic Bad Radkersburg.
