Furstenfeld – Maribor

This was the last day on the well marked portion of the Eurovelo 9 trail. The rest of it past Maribor is in planning or in implementation but not finished.  There were a lot of day cyclists riding around on the last section on the southern border between Austria and Slovenia. I also saw a few touring cyclists but I did not talk to any of them because they were going in the opposite direction.

The highlight of the day was the pretty little village St. Anna am Aigen. I stopped there for coffee and ice cream.

I arrived in Maribor, Slovenia a little past six and I was pretty tired. I think the climbing yesterday took its toll. I don’t feel like a mountain goat with my heavy bicycle.  I plan to stay in Maribor all day tomorrow, relax and explore.
