Route description

The Iron Curtain Trail (ICT) covers the area from Barents to Black Sea and follows the western borders of countries from the former Eastern Bloc. With its length of 9000 km, it crosses borders of 20 countries and is a part of the EuroVelo cycling routes, which spreads across the whole European area with the total of 70.000 km and over 14 routes.

The Slovenian part of this route is called “EuroVelo 13” and is fairly short, but crosses the geographically, linguistically, culturally and ethnically diverse landscape of the Prekmurje region. This allows participants to experience pleasant cycling, as well as enjoy all the naturally and culturally rich surroundings of this area along the Hungarian border.

The tour takes place along this route: Martinje - Ženavlje - Šulinci - Adrijanci - Šalovci - Hodoš - Krplivnik - Domanjševci - Prosenjakovci - Motvarjevci - Kobilje - Dobrovnik - Žitkovci - Genterovci - Mostje - Dolga vas - Lendava - Čentiba - Pince.
