About the route
The large, popular and well-equipped bathing and leisure area on the artificial Lake Šoderica, more than 100 years old, is the perfect destination for an easy, fun ride “to the beach”, or for enjoying one of the many recreational and leisure activities on offer there.
This flat, easy route is fully suited to less skilled and less fit riders, which makes it a great choice for family outings. Choose this route and you will get to know many Podravina villages offering countless opportunities for a rest and refreshments.
Lake Šoderica was created by gravel extraction – “šoder” in the local Kajkavian dialect. Thanks to the thick layer of gravel the water is a clear turquoise, and tourism here goes back to the early 20th century, longer than at some far better-known “seaside” destinations.

Tips and safety
Always wear a helmet. Bring enough food and water. Take particular care on sections of the routes that use tarmac roads, especially where there is no cycle lane. Don't forget extra clothing in case of bad weather or a drop in temperature. Avoid riding at night; if you do ride in the dark, always switch on your lights and wear a reflective vest or clothing. Assess your own fitness carefully and don't take on an effort you are not sure you can manage. Check that your bike is in good working order before every ride. Use hand signals when turning. Ride in single file on roads. Obey the traffic rules.
