If you want to sightsee on two wheels, you will get your money's worth hopping in your bike to enjoy nooks and crannies of the Prlekija. It features a network of dedicated trails, comprising 135 km (83 miles) of bike paths for all levels of technical skill. Each route is well signed and mapped with highlights and stops for food and wine.

The 20-km (12.4-mile) Wine Bike Trail, running along the Jeruzalem Wine Tourist Road, is a major destination for bike enthusiasts.

If a two-wheeled jaunt through scenic landscapes is your idea of a good time, pick Vard's path that, naturally, runs past Vard castle. You are in for an unforgettable visual experience of the stunning Prlekija plain to the east and the stupendous views of the vineyards virtually in every other direction.

The 31-km (19-mile) »Štrkova pot« trail, running along the banks of the Mura River isn't a ride for newbies, and as the original name suggests, storks are part-and-parcel of the ride.

The longest, the 41-km (25.4-mile) Grossmann trail makes for an awe-inspiring ride that will take you past such attractions as »Gajševsko jezero« lake, several mills, and the Bioterme spa resort at Mala Nedelja. 

It’s a good idea to act surprised though if a friendly local you run into enroute invites you in for refreshments.

The trails taking you through the beautiful landscapes of the much unspoiled Prlekija region will be those you don’t soon forget.
