Cycling along these trails is the best way of discovering this flat yet mysterious part of Slovenia. The construction of the routes in Prekmurje was the result of the European project for constructing cycling paths and routes, whose aim was to improve safety and respect of cyclists.

On the new routes, cycling enthusiasts travel separate from other traffic where this is possible, and above all can cover distances between different towns faster. This increases the attractiveness of the region for cyclists, and enhances sports and recreation facilities in this area which borders on Austria, Hungary and Croatia. It improves town and suburban connections and reduces the negative impact on the environment. Recreational cyclists agree that Slovenia is evolving into one of the most cyclist-friendly countries in Europe.

Pannonian Village
It is cyclists who are becoming the most frequent guests in the Pannonian Village, a new settlement of houses and apartments in the village of Tešanovci in the vicinity of Moravske Toplice. The village is situated on the edge of the Prekmurje plains, only a few steps away from the Livada golf course (Terme 3000). The settlement is composed of seven straw-roofed Prekmurje-style houses made of brick and plastered with clay. The interior features handmade solid furniture; the warmth of the brushed wood and a special decorative touch effectively complement the spirit of the authentic Prekmurje tradition. The sense of originality and peculiarity of the Pannonian Village are supplemented by the views over the vast Prekmurje fields.

Guests visiting the village are usually content with their stay, the proof of which are the following statements: "It is always nice to stay in traditional houses made of wood and natural materials. Houses are clean, big enough, in very good location: 1.5 km from pools and all around are natural beauty spots and particularly good restaurants. I really recommend this warm and homely place."

"Newly built traditional Pannonian-style houses. Excellent finish and interior design. Located in a nice and flat agricultural area close to the biggest spa complex in the eastern part of Slovenia. A 5-minute walk to Oaza, a very nice restaurant, serving a variety of local and international dishes."
