Holiday apartment in Vič: Drava Cycle Path and cultural sites

The Drava Cycle Path is part of the European network of cycle routes. In and around Vič, there are historic buildings, religious landmarks, and mountains.

Cycling

In Dravograd, the Drava Cycle Path runs from the Vič border crossing through the centre of Dravograd and onward across the bridge to Bukovje in the direction of Trbonje. This connects Vič to a route that links the town centre, the Drava, and several directions.

On the right bank of the Drava, cyclists can continue along the Drava Cycle Path towards Vuzenica and Maribor. The Trbonje Bridge also allows a crossing to the left bank of the Drava; from there, the route leads via Gortina and Muta towards Radlje. It then climbs over the Radeljski prelaz into the Austrian region of Styria.

Culture

The settlement of Vič is designated as an archaeological area under the ordinance of the Municipality of Dravograd. At the southeastern edge of Vič stands the Urkova Chapel on the right side of the road from Dravograd to Vič. Eberwein Castle, a fortified castle, is located in the immediate vicinity of Vič. In the wider regional area lies Ehrnegg Castle, also a fortified castle. Rabenstein is a ruin in the vicinity of Vič, while Sankt Josef is a monastery.

Directly on the state border, the Jelenkova kašča stands on the Jelenko farmstead. It is a masonry granary with exceptionally rich Baroque façade detailing. On the road from Vič towards Feldhof stands the Blažejevo znamenje. It has a single shallow niche containing a figure of the Virgin Mary; saints are depicted on the side walls. The narrow, elongated masonry wayside shrine is considered a structure with a broad, four-sided shingle roof crowned by a sphere with a cross.

Another ecclesiastical detail belongs to the filial Church of St. Leonard in Vič pri Dravogradu: its organ is attributed to Andreas Schwarz and dated to 1723. Together with the Urkova Chapel, the Blažejevo znamenje, the Jelenkova kašča, and the aforementioned castles, monastery, and ruin, this creates an area in which various forms of sacred, rural, and fortified architecture are represented.
