Cycling day trip from Gyöngyös to Paradsasvar

Kick off your cycling adventure in Gyöngyös, a charming town nestled at the foot of the Mátra mountain range known for its wine and beautiful baroque architecture. As you pedal out of town, the route gradually takes you into the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape.

You'll travel a little over 30 kilometers to reach Paradsasvar, with a decent workout on your way—nearly 1,075 meters in ascent! The ride promises lovely, undisturbed moments, with quiet roads covering more than half of the journey. About three-quarters of your route is on smooth asphalt, making for a mostly pleasant ride, though you’ll encounter some missing and ground surfaces.

As you climb, you’ll pass through a mixture of cycleways, tracks, and paths, giving you picturesque views of the hills. The maximum elevation is around 787 meters, so be prepared for some spectacular vistas if the weather is clear.

Once you roll into Paradsasvar, you’re in for a treat. This village is famous for its glass factory and the gorgeous Károlyi Castle; perfect spots to wrap up your cycling day. Enjoy the ride and the blend of natural beauty with a touch of local culture along the way!
