Drava Bike – the Slovenian section of one of Europe’s most beautiful cycling routes

Drava Bike is a Slovenian story along the Drava River – and at the same time part of the acclaimed international Drava Cycle Route, which connects Italy, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia along an approximately 710 km-long itinerary.

In Slovenia and Croatia, Drava Bike is divided into 6 well-marked stages (about 210 km in total), each between 30 and 50 km long – from the entry point into Slovenia to the confluence of the Mura and Drava rivers in Croatia. The stages are ideal for families and leisure cyclists who want more than just kilometres in their legs: they enjoy discovering the most beautiful natural spots, feeling the pulse of the towns where they stop and spend the night, and savouring local cuisine and authentic experiences by the river.

Cycling Drava Bike intertwines with unique experiences: rafting, paddling, swimming, gold panning, visiting natural attractions, and enjoying the rich cultural offer of towns and places along the Drava. Drava Bike therefore offers an experience around every bend. It highlights Slovenia’s character and the quality of its experiences, while remaining part of a great long-distance route that follows the Drava’s course through four countries – making it a perfect choice for anyone who wants to combine local authenticity with an international cycling adventure.
