Paseo rápido en bici de Varazdin a Jalkovec

Looking for a quick and easy ride near Varaždin? Try this gentle 4.5 km spin from the heart of Varaždin to the nearby village of Jalkovec. You'll start among Varaždin’s charming baroque streets—did you know this town is often called “Little Vienna” for its historic architecture?—then head southward along mostly quiet roads and a couple of cycle paths.

The route is nearly flat (expect only the most minor climbs and descents), making it great for beginners or anyone after a stress-free cruise. You'll roll through a mix of surfaces, with most of the way smooth asphalt, but be ready for a few stretches where the surface turns to packed dirt or gravel. Traffic is generally light, so you can relax and enjoy the rural Croatian landscape.

Jalkovec itself is a peaceful spot surrounded by fields, perfect for catching your breath or snapping a few photos before looping back. It’s a great little escape from city bustle—a perfect easy ride for a sunny afternoon!
