Cycling day trip from Sopron to Kőszeg

This cycling route takes you from Sopron, a charming historic city known for its medieval old town and wine culture, all the way to the picturesque town of Kőszeg. Covering just over 55 kilometers, you'll pedal through the rolling hills and forests of the Austrian-Hungarian borderlands—a peaceful, almost fairytale landscape.

Expect a mix of surfaces: most of the ride is on quiet paved roads and country lanes, but be prepared for a few gravel stretches that add to the adventure. There’s some climbing involved (roughly 725 meters up), but the rewarding views—and the breezy descents—make it worthwhile.

The route is wonderfully tranquil, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the natural beauty around you and perhaps spot some local wildlife. Once you roll into Kőszeg, soak in its well-preserved medieval atmosphere and maybe unwind in one of its cozy cafés.

All in all, it's a scenic and invigorating ride between two of western Hungary’s most charming towns—a perfect day out for cyclists who love a bit of variety and history along the way!
