DAY 2 – TOUR – MARIBOR WINE ROADS – NORTH

Breakfast. Get ready to climb today. Maribor nested in the middle of green hills. Today we head north, to the heart of the wine-growing region of Slovenian Styria. There are smaller roads winding up and down, some short but steep climbs, some flat paths. You will admire the greenery of the forests that cover the north side of the hills, and the vineyards that cover the south walls of the landscape. We will make a stop or two to taste the homemade food typical for our places, try some wine or homemade apple juice. Afternoon return to the city and free time. Dinner, overnight.

TOUR DATA: 74 km, 920 vertical meter in ascent.

DAY 3 – RIVER DRAVA VALLEY AND CROSSING TO AUSTRIAN WINE ROADS

Breakfast. We head west, cycling along the path along the Drava River. The first part of the stage offers many short ascents, but will take us back to the Drava River, about 25 km from Maribor. From here we cross the course of the river Drava and focus on a large ascent to the mountain Kozjak, which lies on the border with Austria. Steep winding road and a sharp descent to Leutschach in southern Austrian Styria. A short stop before driving along the famous South Styrian wine road…. Of course we can stop and try some high quality local wines that are great! Return via Spielfeld back to Slovenia and drive to Maribor. Free time for relaxation, dinner and overnight.

DAY 4 – FLAT TOUR AROUND THE GREEN FIELDS OF DRAVA RIVER

Breakfast. The stage is not difficult and is mostly very laid out. We will make a large circle on the plains and fields made by the river Drava, sediments of gravel and earth.
