Pedalo Radtours from Passau
Vienna - Budapest
- Trail distance approximately 350km
- Route mostly flat, between Tata and Esztergom two ascendings of each 3km.
Route description:
- 1st day travel to Vienna
- Individual travel to the capital of Austria and overnight stay.
- 2nd day Vienna – Bad Deutsch - Altenburg/Petronell-Carnuntum about 60km
- You collect your bicycles and last hints and leave then Vienna on a well designated bicyle trail system. On the Hubertusdam you bike via Eckertsau, where you will find a baroque hunting lodge, on to Bad Deutsch Altenburg, where in the evening you can go on a short excursion to have a look at the excavations of the antique roman camp Carnuntum.
- 3rd day Bad Deutsch Altenburg–Mosonmagyarovar about 60km
- Today you`ll bike through vineyards via Hainburg (former frontier fortress) a short way through Slowakia to Mosonmagyarovar.
- 4th day Mosonmagyarovar – Györ about 45km
- Today`s trail leads you through picturesque rural villages along the former marshland (little Schütt) to Györ. The medieval centre offers sights like the episcopal castle with its gothic chapel, the cathedral or the local city hall.
- 5th day Györ – Tata (approx. 58km)
- We leave Györ through the suburbs with its many big industrial areas and head farther through the lowlands into the gentle hilly country of Transdanubia. Via Babolna, where the best and fastest Hungarian riding horses are bred, and Kocs, our journey continues to Tata. Here we can cycle around the idyllic 'Old Lake' with the moated castle from the 15c. Accommodation also possible in Tatabánya. .
- 6th day Tata – Esztergom (Train ride + approx. 56 km by bike)
- From Tata to Esztergom the cycling route leads us on the Hungarian side through several hilly sections and along bad roads with heavier traffic. That’s why we recommend covering the first 18 km by train, to be organised on your own (approx. hourly connections, bicycle transport possible, approx. € 2,- per person + approx. € 1,– per bicycle, payable on site). From Komárom (H) we bike across the Danube Bridge into Slovakia to Komárno (SK) and on the Slovakian side of the Danube to Stúrovo (SK), where we cross the Danube Bridge once again to the other side and arrive in Esztergom.
- 7th day Esztergom - Budapest (approx. 69km)
- The last cycling day begins with a visit to the basilica of Esztergom, the biggest and most impressive church of Hungary. We leave the Episcopal city and cycle into the traditional town of Vinegar, where we can see the ruins of the Renaissance castle of Matthias Corvine. We change banks and journey along Szentendre Island until a ferry takes us back to the southern bank to the town of Szentendre. The atmospheric city of artists in front of the portals to Budapest houses many small galleries and studios, which lend themselves for a visit. Now we only have a short part left before we reach Budapest (approx. 15 km), which we can also cover by train or ship (to be organised on your own, payable on site). In Budapest we have chosen a beautiful hotel in the city centre, which is easily reachable by bicycle. We should absolutely pay a visit to Buda Castle, one of the most famous and frequently visited sights in Budapest.
