Second to last stage and not quite as long. From our "private room" in Illmitz, we drive to the white baroque donkeys in Sandeck - Illmitz. The B10 and B20 lead there (also the route to the ferry) and it is a gravel path. The landscape is steppe-like, some snow-white herons are standing around. At a

Our hotel in Ödenburg or Sopron shows no weakness at breakfast, recommendable. It rained and thundered for a long time during the night. The paths are still good to ride today because they are mostly asphalted. The Sopron-Eisenstadt connection path is already great. Leads downhill through the forest

Today we reach our base station for Lake Neusiedl. The route heads northwest and unfortunately the wind is blowing from there. Additionally, there are almost 500 meters of altitude gain. We roll along the quiet 8446 and today see many small Hungarian villages with everything that belongs to them. From

After a very good breakfast in the old wine cellar of Hotel Bacchus, Keszthely, we set off in very warm temperatures with a south wind on the route to Sarvar ("Castle in the Swamp"). The cycle path from Keszthely to Heviz is beautiful. Downhill and in the cool forest. Heviz has the largest natural and

In the Pension Goldhaus, we are served a very extensive breakfast on the terrace next to the pool. Actually already brunch. But we have to go. At 10 in the morning, it's already almost 30 degrees. After 5 km, we are out of Bad Plattensee and continue on Eurovelo 14 along the north shore of Lake Balaton

Today, with clear to cloudy temperatures around 30 degrees, we ride to Lake Balaton to the town of Balatonfüred, also called Bad Plattensee. About half of the route goes to the lake through hilly terrain (good brakes are necessary). The route is good outside the towns, often newly built cycle path sections

The stage was planned differently today and in retrospect, we are glad how it turned out. After breakfast at the hotel (even with fresh strawberries, but weak coffee), we take our panniers to the luggage room and walk to the metro station. We take the subway and bus to the K2 shop on the other side of

At a railway bridge, komoot unfortunately misdirects us, so we have to cross a road, which is dangerous there. There we meet Geraldine and Ben from near Dublin, who are traveling with a tour

We can recommend Pension Jolan, even if the price is not cheap. After the village road, a rather rustic but rideable farm track leads to the cycle path. Then

Baumkuchen is probably a specialty in many places. Recently we also saw it in Budapest. And complemented with ice cream, it must have tasted particularly good to you!

The last stage of our Hungary Collection should end in Vienna at the hostel. The night in Sopron was rainy again, the neck steak from the evening before lay heavy in my stomach. However, breakfast at the Rosengarten Hotel was uplifting again and we could set off. The first plan was the train station
