The Slovenska Bistrica–Slovenske Konjice route is situated in northeastern Slovenia, bridging the towns of Slovenska Bistrica and Slovenske Konjice. The road traverses the lower elevations of the Alps and the Karawanken und Bachergebirge, providing a transition between two significant Slovenian regions. The area is characterized by rolling hills, forested slopes, and agricultural land, with the route serving as a connector between local communities and as an access point to the broader alpine landscape.

The road between Slovenska Bistrica and Slovenske Konjice extends for approximately 11.7 km (7.3 miles), with elevations ranging from 273 m (896 ft) to 335 m (1,099 ft). The surface is asphalt and is generally rated as very good, offering a smooth ride for most of its length. The route is moderately curvy, providing a mix of gently curved and straight sections, suitable for riders seeking a relaxed mountain experience rather than a highly technical challenge. The majority of the road features a single lane in each direction (about 95%), with the width varying: middle-width sections dominate (about 51%), while wide stretches account for about 33% and narrow segments for 10%. Approximately 37% of the route passes through inhabited areas, including the settlements of Ličenca, Industrijska ulica, and Videž. The maximum speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph), reflecting the road’s passage through populated zones and its mountain setting.

This road crosses the foothills of the Alps and the Karawanken und Bachergebirge. While the route itself does not reach high alpine passes, it provides access to the surrounding mountain landscapes and serves as a gateway to outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling. The nearby town of Slovenska Bistrica is home to Slovenska Bistrica Castle, a notable historical site, while Slovenske Konjice is known for its wine-growing tradition and the Žiče Charterhouse, a medieval monastery located a short distance from the town. These attractions make the route appealing not only for its riding qualities but also for its cultural and historical context.
