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".
Day 2: Maribor – Ptuj (32 km). Cycling tour goes along river Drava / 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 (46 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 (30 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.
