Day 2: Balatonfüred-Badacsony (59 Km)
This day we will follow the bicycle road which goes along the coast. We can stop for a bath almost everywhere. A cold beer or ice cream helps to push the pedals and get closer to Badacsony, the Hungarian Tuscany. The whole day is about the cycling, sunsine and the lake. The hotel is located at the feet of the oldest wine region of Hungary so the excellent wines are guaranteed.

There is no rush, just the road and the lake and you.
Day 6: Balatonföldvár-Balatonkenese (39 km)
We leave behind Balatonföldvár on the bicycle road. The highlight for today comes now. Shortly we find ourselves on the top of the lake.
