Erdody Route

The ride takes you through Klanjec and the peaceful surroundings at the foot of Cesarska Gora mountain. Gentle climbs and descents vary the rhythm and at certain points, open up views of the valley and wine-growing slopes. Along the route, you encounter the Antun Augustinčić Gallery with its sculpture park, as well as the Franciscan Monastery and the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the crypt of which houses the sarcophagi of the Erdody family. The region is known for its wine production, featuring native protected grape varieties, so the ride naturally pairs with local flavors. The circular route ends in the center of Klanjec, linking cultural sites, nature and recreational cycling. It is named after the Erdody family, whose legacy is still visible in the region today.
