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.
A national cycling-friendly service scheme was launched in cooperation with MAKETUSZ in the frame of the Cyclists Welcome in V4 project. There are now nearly 700 certified members. The goal is to have 1,500 service providers registered by the end of 2023
The Hungarian National EuroVelo Coordination Center consortium leader is The Centre for Development of Active and Ecotourism (AÖFK), and the Hungarian National EuroVelo Coordinator is Miklós Berencsi. The other member of the NECC consortium are MAKETUSZ and the Department of Active Mobility of the Prime Minister's Office's State Secretary for Active Hungary.
