Cankova–Kuzma – 50 km

From Cankova there is a gentle climb towards Korovci, where you can walk on a forest education trail, or stop off at the Bransberger Gallery. The route continues towards Gerlinci, on a road which leads among vineyards along the ridge of the Roga±ovci hills, which affords a wonderful view of Goričko and Austria. The route then passes through Fik±inci, Nuskova and Serdida to Sotina.

From the valley in the villages of Serdica or Sotina you can ride up Serdi±ki breg hill or Sotinski breg hill, which are the tallest hills in Goričko and Pomurje, and which offer a lovely view of the area. From Sotina the route continues on to Kuzma, the three-borders stone and then to the village of Grad. The castle, the largest medieval edifice in Slovenia, can be accessed by bike by climbing up the serpentine road. The route then continues towards Beli kriµ, where you turn towards Motovilci. After riding through Ropoča along Ledava lake you can rest by the lakeside or visit the nearby Ferencovi tourism farm.

From there the route passes through Domajinci and Topolovci, and after a gentle climb in the shade of the forest it leads down an easy descent into Cankova. The route can be shortened in Nuskova by turning towards Roga±ovci and Sveti Jurij, where you can see the Church of St. George or stop at the mill in Pertoči. The route then leads through Gornji Slaveči towards Grad, where along the way there is an Evangelical church, and the Catholic Church of the Assumption in Grad.

On this route you can see six churches and many small chapels, natural attractions (the hills Kuharjev breg, Sotinski breg and Serdi±ki breg), technical attractions including man-made ones (mineral water springs in Nuskova, a natural quarry in Sotina, mills and sawmills in Serdica, Pertoči, Gornji Slaveči and Motovilci) and renovated old firehouses (Večeslavci, Sotina).
