Križevci and Kalničko prigorje are well connected with several bike paths. The trails pass through the existing roads with little traffic and visit cultural and historical attractions that reveal the centuries-old history of Križevci’s Upper and Lower Towns, lead to the mysterious Knights Templar in Glogovnica, fortified medieval churches in Kalnik, Sv. Petar Orehovec, Gornja Rijeka and to the fortifications of Veliki and Mali Kalnik.

Bike paths and roads around Križevci and its surroundings are intended for cyclists, recreationists, families and everyone who enjoys life in nature.

A circular path that can be started from the cemetery in Križevci (more demanding option), or alternatively from Sv. Petar Orehovec.

The trail goes along the main road Križevci-Varaždin. Alternatively, the trail starts from the center of Sv. Petar Orehovec through Črnčevec, Vinarec and turns right into Popovec Kalnički. In Popovec, it is possible to see a large Easter egg, and with a slight ascent to climb to Obreške klijeti, a street with old cellars and vineyards. The trail then exits the main road in Vukovec, and via Dropkovac goes to Gornja Rijeka, where it is worth seeing the church and castle where the first Croatian primadonna, Sidonija Rubido-Erdody, lived.

The return is through Donja Rijeka, Barlabaševac and along the valley of the river Reka to Miholec. In Miholec, turn left back towards Sv. Petar Orehovec.
