Ride your bike along the forest paths of Börzsöny and discover the most beautiful parts of the Danube Bend! If you love the closeness of nature, the challenges and the breathtaking panoramic views, then this is the route for you.
Starting from Zebegény: the beginning of the adventure
Start the day in Zebegény, where the endless view of the Danube is a unique experience. The small town is famous for its charming streets, art galleries and, of course, the Kós Károly lookout. It's worth a short detour here for a view of the meandering river and the Börzsöny mountain range from above. Zebegény is like a painting - full of beauty and serenity.
Turn uphill towards Nagymaros!
Head from Zebegény towards Nagymaros along the Danube. You can take easy to medium terrain, while admiring Visegrád Castle on the opposite bank. It's also worth stopping here for a short break, and if you feel like it you can even sail over to Visegrád. However, if you stay on the Börzsöny side, keep heading for Kismaros!
Up the mountain, to Királyrét!
After Kismaros, a real adventure awaits you: the road up the mountain towards Királyrét begins. This route is a real treat for mountain bikers: the winding roads, the cool forest air and the birdsong will recharge everyone's batteries. In Királyrét you can stop for a rest or a delicious lunch at the local inn. From here there are several hiking trails to different parts of the Börzsöny, but if you stay on your bike you can continue your journey to Csóványos.
The conquest of Chóványos
Csóványos is the highest peak in the Börzsöny, and if you can get there, you can be sure that the view is worth every effort. From the panorama, you can see the Danube, the Pilis mountain range and of course the endless forests of the Börzsöny. Although the terrain here is more challenging, the view from the lookout tower rewards every cyclist.
Back to Zebegény: downhill section
After a rest at the summit, head back towards Zebegény. The forest paths down are easier and you have the chance to admire the beauty of the area again. At the end of the day, stop in Zebegény for a coffee or lemonade and just enjoy the tranquillity of the Danube bend.
This hike is not only physically, but also mentally recharging - every corner of the Börzsöny reminds you how close you are to the beauty of nature. If you like adventuring on two wheels, this is a route you must try once!
