Pehchevo is connected to Drosera rotundifolia by a marked cycling route. The ten-kilometre route is equipped with information boards and signposts; there are waste bins along the way, and a map is also provided. The destination and route length give the ride a specific geographical focus. Check the latest route information before setting out, as its facilities may change.

In the wider region of Maleševo, there are five marked hiking trails. Some of them can also be used for mountain biking. This offers a range of route options: the ten-kilometre cycling route connecting Pehchevo with a particular plant, and several hiking trails, some of which are also suitable for mountain biking. As trail markings can change, it is worth checking the latest route information before planning.

The Vrtena Skala rock formation is nearby, outside Pehchevo. It is locally known by this name and lies seven kilometres from the town, at the foot of Bukovik and the Orlovec peak.

The traditional “Pehčevo Pavlovden” Ethno Festival takes place every year on 13 July to mark the Pavlovden holiday. The municipality also holds an annual brass band festival in honour of the same holiday. Both events are associated with Pavlovden; the stated date applies specifically to the Ethno Festival.

The children’s song festival “Raspeano Maleševče” is also part of Pehchevo’s festival history. It dates back to 1994, and participants are children aged seven to fourteen. The cultural scene therefore includes a traditional Ethno Festival, brass music and children’s songs, without needing to combine these events into a single date.
