Along the River Mur –southern and northern parts

Route description:

This road takes us from Lovászi to Gornja Radgona (Regede) along the right side of the River Mur, then we get back to our starting point on the left side across Murska Sobota (Muraszombat). The main settlements of the route are the following: Tornyiszentmiklós, Petišovci, Razkrižje, Veržej, Gornja Radgona, Murska Sobota, Ižakovci, Hotiza, Lendava.

The terrain along the river is pleasantly even, at first it is slightly going uphill then downhill. Finally, between Lendava and Lovászi there is rolling country. The route is between Croatia and Austria, which is a pleasant tour with several unknown treasures.
