The route “Following the Thermal Springs”

The route “Following the Thermal Springs” takes you through a landscape for which Zagorje is known for its spas and healing waters. The ride is gentler, suitable for a recreational pace and a leisurely exploration of two valleys and rest spots. Along the route, you pass through Terme Tuhelj and Aquae Vivae, where the springs have connected health, recovery and socializing for centuries, and today offer modern facilities. In Pregrada, Thierry de Chateauvieux stands out – a pharmacist and entrepreneur who, at the end of the 19th century, launched the first industrial production of medicines in this part of Europe. His products, known worldwide, testify to the long-standing tradition of health in this region. The route also includes Mihanović and Bežanec castles, the Pregrada City Museum and the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, along with cycling rest stops that make the ride more enjoyable.
