The distance is 30 km, the route is relatively flat, apart from one small hill. As one of the most popular cycling routes in Hungary, it’s a pleasant ride and can be a good start for newbies. The cycling route is protected from cars for the most part.
We will go together from Budapest to the lake (Gárdony train station) by train, where we are going to rent bicycles. You will have the chance to go to a supermarket at the beginning. We will have a few shorter stops and one longer stop in the last third of the trip. The longer stop will be at a beach where we can have a pizza at a restaurant at the lake side.
We will order the pizza in advance, so you can write what kind of pizza you would like in the form. You can choose your pizza on this website: https://www.sakaltanya.hu/
