Day 2. MARIBOR - PTUJ 20ml(32km)
An easy ride toady across flat Ptuj plain along the bank of Drava. The town of Ptuj,the oldest in Slovenian, has Roman ruins, temples and a medieval castle with a wonderful collection of old musical instruments and history of Turkish raids.

Day 3. PTUJ - JERUZALEM 23ml((37km)
Cycle first across flat plains but later the last 8 km are hilly with one sharp climb of 100m/330 ft. On the way visit Dornava and Nedela baroque castles and the Ormoz wine cellar - known for its white wines. Ormoz is on the border with Croatia: perhaps visit the neighbouring country by simply crossing Drava Bridge. On the hilltop of Jeruzalem stands a marvelous baroque church dating from the 16th century: it holds the portrait of the Mourning Virgin, brought from the Holy Land. Overnight in a nice 2-star country inn, with lovely views over the vineyards. Price includes wine tasting in the house cellar!

Day 4. JERUZALEM - MORAVSKE TOPLICE 28ml(45km)

Overnight in 4 star hotel - part of Terme 3000 spa complex in Moravske Toplice.

Day 5. Rest day MORAVSKE TOPLICE

Spend the day resting in the spa or take an easy 19ml/30km round trip towards the Hungarian border and visit Bukovnica Lake. Enjoy a cup of coffee with tasty pastry in Lendava or cycle a couple of kilometres through Hungary.

Day 6. MORAVSKE TOPLICE - LENART 32ml(51km)
A short distance from Moravske Toplice is Murska Subota with its fine 16th century castle which houses the regional museum. From there the cycling is first flat and then across gently rolling countryside. Overnight in a 2* country inn.

Day 7. LENART - MARIBOR 26ml(42km)
