Route description:

The route starts in Őriszentpéter, and its western part first crosses Őrség then goes back to Hungary after a nice meander in Slovenia. The following settlements are the most important ones on this way: Szentgotthárd, Alsószölnök, Hármashatár, Grad, Šalovci, Hodoš, Bajánsenye.

The view is magnificent, but the road rises more than a 1000 meters. It is a real sports achievement to cover this route.
