Cycling day trip from Graz to Gornja Radgona

Looking for a picturesque ride from Austria to Slovenia? This route takes you from Graz, the vibrant “Capital of Styria,” down to the charming town of Gornja Radgona. Graz is Austria’s second-largest city, packed with Renaissance courtyards and hip cafés — perfect for a pre-ride espresso.

You’ll cover just over 91 kilometers, zipping mostly along quiet roads and proper cycleways. With around 220 meters of climbing, it’s a pretty gentle ride—ideal if you want scenery over suffering! Expect smooth tarmac almost the entire way, giving your tires an easy day out. The route gradually descends southward, so you can really enjoy the countryside unfolding around you.

Your destination, Gornja Radgona, sits right on the Mura River and is famous for its sparkling wines and the annual agricultural fair. It’s the perfect spot to celebrate your cross-border adventure—maybe even with a glass of bubbly! Don’t forget your passport and, if you fancy a longer stop, both towns have loads to explore.
