Cycling day trip from Pécs to Villány

This scenic ride takes you from the historic city of Pécs to the renowned wine region of Villány, covering just over 46 km through the rolling Baranya hills. Starting in Pécs, a lively university town famous for its early Christian tombs and Mediterranean vibe, you’ll cruise out of the city and soon find yourself amid peaceful countryside.

The route is mostly on quiet roads and rural tracks, so expect minimal traffic and plenty of time to take in the landscape. There is a fair bit of up-and-down (about 400 meters ascent), but nothing too intimidating—just enough to earn that glass of wine waiting in Villány!

Be prepared for a mix of surfaces, with some stretches possibly unpaved or less maintained, so a gravel or trekking bike is a good call. Villány greets you with its picturesque cellars and some of Hungary’s best reds—don’t miss a tasting if you’ve got time! A perfect day’s ride for anyone looking to mix culture, scenery, and a bit of adventure.
