Hungary

Cycle infrastructure in Hungary has developed rapidly in recent years, partly in response to the increasing demands of cycling tourists. Among the recent developments in Hungary, a particular mention should be made of the cycle route around Lake Balaton but the Danube Bend and the Buda Hills also offer dramatic opportunities for cycling tours. Cycling is now permitted in a number of national parks too but it is important to know that cyclists must keep to marked routes.

The launch of the national cycling friendly service scheme is currently in preparation together with MAKETUSZ and will be part of the Cyclists Welcome in V4 project. However, as cycling tourism is very popular in Hungary, many service providers (restaurants, accommodations or touristic attractions) already meet the criterias of cycling friendly schemes and welcome cyclists.
