Cycling day trip from Szombathely to Kőszeg

Ready for a scenic ride? Start your adventure in Szombathely, a charming city known for its rich history and cultural landmarks. As you cycle out of the bustling heart of Szombathely, you'll find yourself weaving through varied terrains, with about 38% of your journey gracing smooth asphalt underwheel, and the rest offering a mix of gravel, concrete, and the occasional rustic paving stones.

The route promises a tranquil experience as you spend most of your time on quiet roads, shaded tracks, and designated cycleways. Be sure to soak in the gentle ascent, which peaks at around 278 meters, offering just enough of a challenge to keep things interesting.

Your destination, Kőszeg, known as the "Jewel Box of Hungary," awaits with its picturesque medieval streets and vibrant town squares. Consider making a stop at the renowned Jurisics Castle or one of the cozy cafes around the historic main square to refuel and relish the ambiance.

With most of the journey being a gentle ascent, leaving Szombathely behind, and the descent winding you gracefully into Kőszeg, you'll be treated to a pleasant and invigorating ride sprinkled with delightful views of the Hungarian countryside. Happy cycling!
