The eastern edge of the Karavanke Alps introduces a land of valleys and mountains, which holds many attractions for cyclists. The cycling infrastructure is impressive, with more than 1,000 kilometres of different cycling routes. Keen cyclists will love the spectacular single trail network and unique underground cycling trips. There are numerous cycling events and competitions, which testifies to the local affection for mountain biking.

The eastern parts of the Koroška region are characterised by the Drava River, which carved a first-rate terrain for recreational and family cycling. The river flows between the hills of Kobansko and Kozjak on the country’s northern border and Pohorje to the south, which is a true paradise for mountain bikers and tourers.

Mountain Bike Park
Many mountain valleys in this part of the Karavanke Alps rise to Alpine peaks. The nearby woodland holds unlimited possibilities for mountain bikers thanks to its intricate network of dirt roads and cart tracks, which is why Slovenia’s first mountain bike park was started there. The network of well-tended mountain biking trails is waymarked with animal footprints, hence its name Traces of Wilderness. Črna na Koroškem, Mežica and Jamnica are the gateways to more than 350 km of cycling routes.

Underground Biking
Mountain bikes were built to ride mountains, but Koroška also boasts a unique 6 km waymarked cycling route that runs deep beneath the ground. It runs through the mysterious abandoned mine underneath Peca.

Kundi’s Biking Routes
Starting in Prevalje, the waymarked routes lead to Leše, Šentanel, Dolga Brda and Strojna. Some routes can be combined, so there are many different ways to explore the area with magnificent panoramic views of the mountains and valleys of Koroška.

Ekohotel Kmetija Koroš
