Quick ride by bicycle from Zreče to Vitanje

Kick off your ride in the charming little town of Zreče, known for its thermal springs and the stunning Pohorje Hills. From here, you're heading to Vitanje, a quaint settlement that's become a surprising hub for space enthusiasts thanks to its Cultural Centre of European Space Technologies.

The ride is just shy of 10 kilometers, making it a perfect morning or afternoon outing. You’ll start with a bit of an ascent, so get ready to feel those calves working! But don’t worry, the views and fresh countryside air will more than compensate. Most of your ride will wind through quiet roads, so you won't have to dodge too much traffic, making it pretty peaceful.

The route is a mixed bag surface-wise; a fair bit of it is missing, aka natural terrain, but you'll feel the humble charm as your tires crunch over some unpaved sections. There’s also a bit of asphalt to speed things up.

By the time you roll into Vitanje, you might just find you've worked up an appetite! Take a breather and soak in the town’s unique connection to cosmos exploration. It's a short ride, but full of delightful Slovenian countryside charm!
