Active exploration of ancient trails

The magic of Slovenj Gradec, its locals, and nature is best discovered and felt when experienced actively. Explore the lush Mislinja Valley by bicycle along the Štrekna, a route built on a former railway line that is an ideal choice for different types of cyclists. One of the most beautiful cycling paths in Slovenia will impress you along its 35-kilometre route with a picturesque panorama of the green forests of Pohorje and the majestic backdrop of the Karavanke Alps with Mount Uršlja Gora.

The trail, which opens the door to ever-new experiences, offers numerous surprises and carefully placed scenic viewpoints, where with one eye you can admire the beauty of the unspoiled landscape, and with the other you can spot the highest-situated church in Slovenia.

Štrekna is not only a cycling path but also a timeless monument to rich technical heritage that tells stories of the past. The diverse landscape and authentic experience of nature with its energy act as a balm that relaxes the body and mind while refreshing the senses. The experience is complemented by surrounding farms that treat you to the delights of authentic Carinthian cuisine.
