Cycling day trip from Ptuj to Maribor

Kick off your cycling adventure from the charming town of Ptuj, Slovenia's oldest town, known for its rich history and beautiful architecture. As you set off on this 30.4 km ride to Maribor, prepare to enjoy a mix of track, cycleway, and quiet roads. With primarily asphalt and some gravel under your wheels, this route offers a balanced ride that’s suitable for most cyclists.

You'll ascend a gentle 86 meters before you start to descend, allowing you to soak in the scenic vistas without too much huffing and puffing. The landscape is a patchwork of lush fields and quaint villages, offering the perfect backdrop for a leisurely cycle. This route is a blend of 53% asphalt and 41% gravel, so expect a bit of crunch under your tires but nothing too tricky.

Finish in Maribor, a lively city known for its vibrant wine culture and the Drava River flowing right through it. Once you arrive, you can explore the historic Lent district or relax at one of the cozy cafes. It's a great way to spend a day on two wheels while exploring the delights of Slovenia!
