Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Dravograd do Maribor

Dravograd to Maribor Cycling Route

If you’re looking for a scenic ride across northern Slovenia, this route from Dravograd to Maribor is a true adventure. Starting in Dravograd—right at the confluence of the Drava, Meža, and Mislinja rivers—you’ll head southeast toward Maribor, the country’s lively second-largest city.

It’s no Sunday stroll: expect a hearty challenge, with over 2,200 meters of climbing (and a similar descent). The route spans about 80 km, so bring snacks and plenty of water! Most of your ride will be on quiet roads and cycleways, weaving through forested hills and charming rural landscapes of the Pohorje Highlands. About three-quarters is paved, but you’ll hit some gravel—just enough for a taste of adventure.

Maribor will greet you with its riverside cafés and the world’s oldest grapevine in the Lent district. Celebrate your ride along the Drava River, and maybe treat yourself to a glass of local wine—you’ve earned it!
