Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival in Maribor. Second largest Slovene city, on the Austrian border. Hotel is right in the center, next to one of the few Slovene "town castles".Welcome drink, bike delivery and testing.
Day 2: Maribor – Ptuj (38 km). Cycling tour goes along river Drava, passing vineyards and orchards. We liked the rich museum collections (musical, Turkish times) at the excellently preserved Ptuj Castle. Wine cellar and old streets of the oldest Slovene towns.
Day 3: Ptuj - Rogaska Slatina (44 km). First cycling across the Ptuj field (flat), then a low pass (200 m). We liked the Gothic church at Ptujska Gora, the healing waters of Rogaska spa.
Day 4: Rogaska Slatina - Podcetrtek (28 km). Easy route going through the Sotla river valley. We liked the glass workshops at Rogaska. Rural countryside along the Croatian border.
Day 5: Rest Day in Podcetrtek. A day of rest / bathing in the large swimming center of a hotel complex. Short day trip to Podsreda castle, which houses a rare pharmaceutical collection, set in one of the oldest European pharmacies. Castle Podcetrtek above the hotel. There is a chocolate factory only a mile from the hotel and a local beer brewery next to it.
Day 6: Podcetrtek - Catez (62 km). Flat route, some hills.We will visit the Castle Brezice – the Slovenian only intact baroque castle – famous for its painted ceiling.Also you will have the opportunity to take a hot water bathing in Catez spas. Champagne cellar scenic with wine tasting possibility.
Day 7: Catez - Otocec(42 km). Flat, across the Sava field. Mighty castle of Kostanjevica open-air gallery, Pleterje monastery. We will visit the hotel in Otocec - the grand medieval castle with large park on an island - tourist dream.
