By bicycle from Szentendre to Leányfalu

Set off from the charming town of Szentendre, famous for its colorful Baroque houses, cobblestone streets, and vibrant art scene. This short and sweet ride to Leányfalu takes you roughly 7.2 km along the scenic Danube Bend, mostly on smooth, dedicated cycleways – perfect for a relaxing spin, whether you’re solo or with friends.

The route is mostly flat, with just a little bit of up and down (about 53 meters of ascent), so you can focus more on enjoying the river views and leafy surroundings than on grinding up hills. Watch for brief stretches of cobblestone and gravel, but most surfaces here are mellow pavement or asphalt.

Finish up in Leányfalu, a laid-back riverside village known for its open-air thermal baths – ideal if you fancy a soak after the ride. Altogether, this ride is a perfect introduction to the beauty of the Danube’s northern stretch and the relaxed vibe just north of Budapest. Don’t forget your camera!
