The timetable for the Štrekna Bus is published on the website www.strekna.si - just click the orange button labeled “Štrekna bus.” Printed timetables are also available at all bus stations and stops where possible. The website also provides a link to the cycling bus timetable, which allows transfers in Labot (Lavamünd, AT) and travel towards Wolfsberg (Volšperk, AT).

Štrekna Bus is part of the public intercity bus service, so standard ticket prices apply. You can find ticket prices on the website of the transport operator Nomago: https://www.nomago.si/vozovnice. With subsidized weekend fares, a single ticket for all routes costs €1.30. Bicycle transport is free this year as well. Tickets can be purchased directly on the bus, at bus stations in Velenje and Slovenj Gradec, or online via the transport operator’s website.

Unfortunately, the public bus passenger transport system does not allow reservations. There is no reservation system for regular bus routes operated by Nomago, so passengers who purchase a ticket in advance do not have a reservation at the same time. Public transport is intended for all passengers without reservations and operates until all seats on the buses are filled, via all stops.

We recommend first checking announcements on Štrekna’s social media or website, where updates about possible service disruptions are posted. Under normal conditions, the bus runs according to the scheduled timetable, but minor delays may occur due to road conditions. It is advisable to arrive at the stop at least 15 minutes before the scheduled departure to allow for bicycle loading and unloading.

The Štrekna Bus is available to all users, including those without bicycle.

The Štrekna cycling route mostly runs separately from main roads, but parking is available near all bus stops where bicycle loading is possible. Larger parking lots and garages are marked on the map on the website.

For safety reasons, bike loading is planned and recommended at the following stops:

• Velenjsko jezero (postajališče Novi jašek)
• AP Velenje
• Gornji Dolič
• Mislinja
• Slovenj Gradec
• Otiški Vrh
• Begant
• Dravograd
• Labot – jezero (Lavamünd Badesee)

At the Gornji Dolič and Begant stops, bike loading is only possible at the stop in front of the inn (on the right side heading toward Slovenj Gradec).

Both regular and electric bikes can be loaded onto the trailer.

For current updates, follow announcements on social media.

Bikes can be rented at several locations along the route. Prior reservation is recommended. Locations and contacts are listed on the website. The Štrekna Bus offers transport only and does not provide bike rental.

On the temporary bridge in Šentjanž, built after the floods, cycling takes place on the road surface. Be especially careful. We also recommend caution when riding through the roundabout and over the Kovtrov Bridge in Dravograd.

You must carry a valid ID document when cycling or driving across the state border. Follow current instructions on the Slovenian Government website. The Štrekna Bus currently runs all the way to Labot (Lavamünd) in Austria.

Bikes must be equipped in accordance with the regulations of the Slovenian Traffic Safety Agency. More information is available on the website - https://www.avp-rs.si/preventiva/preventivne-akcije/varnost-kolesarjev/varno-kolo/
