Paseo rápido en bici de Zreče a Vitanje

Ready for a quiet ride through the beautiful Slovenian countryside? This route takes you from Zreče—a charming spa town nestled at the foot of the Pohorje hills—to the small historic village of Vitanje. The ride is just under 10 km, making it ideal for a half-day cycling adventure, but don’t let the distance fool you: there are some punchy climbs with around 400 meters of total elevation gain! Most of your journey is on peaceful country roads, perfect for soaking in the green hills and forests around you.

With a surface that’s mostly a mix of gravel and unpaved sections, a gravel or sturdy touring bike will be your best companion. As you pedal, you’ll notice the landscape subtly change—Zreče’s spa vibe gives way to Vitanje’s quaint streets and its claim to fame: the Noordung Space Center, celebrating space technology in this surprising rural corner of Slovenia. So, take it steady on the climbs, enjoy the fresh mountain air, and reward yourself in Vitanje with a look around and maybe a coffee in the village square!
