Bicycle bridge in Dravograd

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

At Dravograd, a separate, narrow bridge for cyclists and pedestrians crosses the Drava River. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the river and the surrounding mountain landscape.

Bike Rack and Water Trough Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

Bench for breaks with a holey bicycle roof and refreshing water. However, the water doesn't look drinkable, but it's enough to wash away the sweat. :)

Dravska Brv (Footbridge)

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Small cyclist bridge in Maribor, then unfortunately unpaved path.
To the Ruška cesta short but steep ascent, if it should continue asphalted.

Very nice, if only a short section of the Drau Cycle Path in Ruše, unfortunately I missed the entrance to Bistrica ob Dravi.

The landscape is outstanding, Štajerska is a very forest and agricultural region. Extremely hilly, therefore extremely strenuous ... The condition of some paths requires permanent concentration, as many gravel stretches are interspersed with potholes and rough boulders and many asphalt stretches are extremely frosty and in poor condition, but there are also excellent, newly asphalted parts.

From Dravograd to Maribor, the mountain stage :-(
From Dravograd it goes directly along the slope on the right side of the Drava, road no. 704 is also the Drava cycle path here. But the road is not very busy. It's going pretty well. The logo of the Drau Cycle Path is even lasered into the rest areas here. Perfect. …

Almost the entire route is an ups and downs in a wonderful forest of centuries-old trees, which makes you forget the climb: silver firs, larches, various broad-leaved trees... the comings and goings of cycle tourists begin, none of them Italian

The last stage ends in Maribor, the second largest city in Slovenia. The cycle route showed itself from all possible sides, from two-lane cycle paths to forest paths and busy country roads. The Drava Cycle Path would now go one stage further to Warasdin in Croatia. However, this stage should be neither particularly beautiful nor easy to drive. In addition, …

Today started with rain.
The day ended with rain.
So it was a beautiful tour in terms of scenery, but the constant rain ruined a lot of things.
The mood wasn't that bad though.
Tomorrow it will be sunnier again.

July 13, 2023,Tag 7 Von Maribor nach Lavamünd

The campsite in Maribor was the most beautiful place of the tour.

What a ride today...
There was a very violent thunderstorm last night that knocked down many trees. Some of them were still on the way, so we either had to push them through the forest or carry them across, sometimes with and sometimes without panniers.
However, the landscape …

It has also become over 1000 meters in altitude. With the best summer weather, mild side and tail wind and mentally well prepared, we set off again at around 9 a.m. from our pension Beg Rooms with the nice Ana in the direction of Lavamünd in Carinthia. The Drau Cycle Path is not a river cycle path as you might …

May 18, 2022,Wien - Schweiz, Tag 5

The Drau Cycle Path between Maribor and Lavamünd is quite a hilly affair. I got used to it and found it a wonderful stage, because the ascents are numerous, but never really very long and not overly steep. So easy to master even with my luggage.

The area is beautiful, the Drava has dug its way through high mountains.
