Route: Lakeside cycling
The Puszta – almost as flat as a table. It lies 88-90 meters (288/295 feet) above sea level. Easy daily stages, suitable for all age groups. Specific cycle tour of our range, which leads for most cycling days quite on bitumenized (concreted) bike paths of the River Tisza flood protection dam.

This tour is not a simple “Wellness Offer” as much as an opportunity to enjoy this spas and thermal waters in the context of a cycling holiday. Every night you will stay where you can bathe or swim in the curative waters. There is a saying in Hungary that all you have to do is push a stick into the ground to reach the thermal water rich in minerals and trace elements.

Thanks to this natural phenomenon, and with more than 400 hot springs and 200 thermal spas, Hungary is a world leader in spa vacationing. All Hungarian spas have chlorine-free mineral pools of varying temperatures of 80-100 degrees Fahrenheit (28-38 Celsius). Different temperature basins suitable for bathing and swimming. Cycle and enjoy the healthy waters of Hungary!”
