Diversion of the Drava Bike route on the Fala – Črešnjevec ob Dravi section

Route Diversion on Stage 2 of Drava Bike (Fala)

We would like to inform you that a temporary route diversion has been introduced on Stage 2 of the Drava Cycling Route, between Radlje ob Dravi and Maribor.

The diversion begins immediately after the Fala Hydroelectric Power Plant (HE Fala), where the route turns onto the Apple Trail (image 1). At this point, do not turn right, but continue straight for approximately 1 kilometer along the main regional road. Therefore, we kindly ask for extreme caution while driving and compliance with traffic regulations.

In the settlement of Črešnjevec ob Dravi, tourist information signage (image 2) will direct you right (image 3) toward St. John of Nepomuk Church and the Vrabl Homestead. The route continues along a local road through the village, where you will reach a junction and turn right again (image 4). At the chapel (Oplenčevo znamenje), you will rejoin the main Drava Bike route, turning left (images 5, 6, and 7).

Please note that this detour is not yet marked on-site, so we ask that you carefully follow these instructions and existing directional signs along the way.

If you are arriving from the direction of Ruše:

• At the chapel (Oplenčevo znamenje), do not continue straight, but turn right.

• Then turn left (image 8) at the first crossroads, which leads you to the main road.

• Turn left again (image 9) and after approximately 1 kilometer, you will rejoin the route near HE Fala.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and most of all – for cycling safely!
