ŠTREKNA: MISLINJA CYCLING ROUTE

Štrekna is known for having one of the best infrastructures of cycling routes in Slovenia. The 24-kilometre cycling route follows the route of a former railway in the Mislinja Valley, between Otiški Vrh, Slovenj Gradec, Mislinja and Gornji Dolič. It is entirely paved and isolated from traffic which is exactly why it is perfect for family cycling trips or more relaxed couple cycling. There are a lot of resting spots along the route.More information: http://www.koroska.si/si/aktivnosti/kolesarske-poti/382-Strekna-kolesarska-pot-po-Mislinjski-dolini.

AROUND URŠLJA MOUNTAIN

Mountain cycling route leads through local and forest macadam roads that intertwine with hamlets and farms located all around the Uršlja mountain. The route goes through the shadows of the pine tree forest, passing quite a few viewpoints, tourist farms, mountain cabins, isolated farms and land hamlets. You can choose a shorter version which leads partly through a forest cart track.More information: http://www.tic-ravne.si/Aktivnosti-doživetja/Kolesarske-poti/ArtMID/461/ArticleID/110/S-kolesom-okoli-Uršlje-gore.

MINE TOUR

In Mežica there is more than 5 kilometres long underground path. Led by a guide and equipped with helmets and flashlights you can safely ride from one valley to another. Prepare to experience an unforgettable adventure. The trail runs through secure tunnels and only rises for about 15 m, even though the holes and bumps left by the former railway sleepers do not allow a comfortable ride. The cycling adventure begins as you are greeted by your guide at the Karavanke Geopark Info Centre in Mežica. Bike rental is possible.More information: https://www.podzemljepece.com/index.php?stran=ogled-rudnika-s-kolesom&sklop=main&lang=si.
