Balaton Roundtrip

around Hungary’s paradise

Itinerary

Route

You cover around 35-65 km a day, mainly on flat surfaces. The bike tour on Lake Balaton does not require many years of practice or special fitness.

Individual arrival in Siófok. After checking in, there will be an information meeting.

Your journey starts with a cycle tour along the southern shore of Lake Balaton. Today’s route takes you through small vacation resorts, past beaches, inviting cafés and restaurants to Balatonkeresztúr.

Today’s tour first takes you along Little Balaton, which was declared a nature reserve in 1951. You cycle through the home of numerous bird species, aquatic plants and other animals. Today’s destination is the historic town of Keszthely, some of whose monuments date back to the 13th century.

After breakfast, you set off for Tapolca, also known as the town of waters. The Tapolca basins between the famous basalt basins are impressive. It is also worth visiting the lake cave and the mill pond before returning to Badacsony.

Today the route takes you through the Kali Basin and back to the shores of Lake Balaton. You cycle through small villages, picturesque landscapes and orchards. Through the Balaton Uplands National Park and on through Zánka you return to the Balaton cycle path before reaching your destination for today: the picturesque Tihany peninsula.

Before you cycle back to the starting point of Siófok today, you will pass a few popular small vacation resorts on Lake Balaton. In summer, for example, the spa town of Balatonfüred attracts visitors with its numerous wine festivals and events. Alternatively, you can shorten the tour from Tihany to a total of 15 km by taking the ferry (not included, ticket approx. € 3) across the lake to Szántód.
