4 countries, 1000 impressions

Itinerary

Route

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.

This tour includes daily transfers to the starting points of your routes. You will find detailled Information on pick up points under "Useful" and in your travel documents.

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

In the morning, a bus transfer takes you to Maribor, Slovenia. The city offers a historic city center and the oldest vine in the world. On the way back you cycle through idyllic landscapes and picturesque villages.

In the morning, the transfer takes you to Alsoszölnök in Hungary. Via the wine village of St. Anna am Aigen, which offers a wonderful view over the surrounding region, you cycle back to Bad Radkersburg on the Themrneradweg.

Today’s starting point is the small Croatian village of Strigova, picturesquely situated in the middle of a hilly landscape that is also used for wine-growing. The route takes you through a remote valley across the border to Slovenia and finally back to Bad Radkersburg along the Murtal cycle path.

Today you stay on the Austrian side of the border and cycle through extensive orchards from your starting point of Jennersdorf to Feldbach. The town square there is considered the gateway to the Styrian volcano country!

Bad Radkersburg invites you to relax today. You can visit the thermal baths, for example, or explore the surrounding area on your own. A guided tour of the town is included in the tour price.

Today’s highlights include Leibnitz, the gateway to the Wine Route, the Grottenhof Nature Park Center and the castles of Seggau and Frauenberg. The route takes you through gently rolling vineyards back to your starting point.

Individual departure or extension.
