Mura Cycling Route
Follow the course of the Mura River and discover a diverse landscape shaped over centuries by the river, nature and the people living along its banks! The Mura Cycling Route takes you through picturesque villages, wide-open fields and green plains, where rich natural and cultural heritage is complemented by the warm hospitality of the locals.
The Mura Cycling Route follows the river’s right bank from Trate, near the Austrian border, to Gibina, near the Croatian border. Stretching approximately 124 kilometres, the route passes through the Apače Plain, Gornja Radgona and Radenci before continuing into the Prlekija region. As the terrain is mostly flat, it is ideal for leisurely cycling, and the route can also be explored in individual stages.
A particularly rewarding stop along the way is Gornja Radgona, known as the Town of Fairs and Sparkling Wine, where rich history meets a long-standing winemaking tradition. Take your time to explore the town’s attractions, visit the Špital Museum or relax by the Mura River. You can also cross the bridge to neighbouring Bad Radkersburg in Austria, where the route connects with the Austrian Murradweg R2 cycling route.
The route is a great choice if you want to combine cycling with exploring the riverside landscape, sampling local specialities and discovering places of interest along the Mura. With several access points along the way, you can easily adjust the length of your ride to suit your preferences and fitness level.
