Cycling tour around eastern Balaton
We went on a three-day cycling tour along Lake Balaton, with an extra loop through the Bakony region to cover sufficient distance. We started in Berhida and cycled via Eplény along quiet country roads to the north coast. Via Balatonfüred and the coast of the Tihany peninsula, we crossed over to the south shore at Szántód. On the third day, we temporarily left the shore, cycled over cliffs and forest roads, and ended up back in Berhida. We encountered unpaved or impassable sections, sometimes overgrown paths, and busy stretches without cycle paths; but everywhere we enjoyed views, tranquillity, and flexibility.

Around Lake Balaton, there turns out to be a lot to do in the summer. Understandably so, as half of Hungary settles along its 200 km of shoreline. Besides sunbathing and swimming, it’s clear that Hungarians also enjoy music, dance, and art.We already took part in a portion of the annual Hungarian Summer Salsa Festival…
