Cycling day trip from Fonyód to Badacsonytomaj

This cycling route takes you from the lakeside town of Fonyód to the picturesque village of Badacsonytomaj, both nestled on the southern and northern shores of Lake Balaton in Hungary. Starting off in Fonyód, you’ll have gorgeous views of the iconic Badacsony hill across the water—your destination for the day!

The ride is a (reasonably) gentle 63 kilometers, mostly on smooth asphalt and dedicated cycle paths, so it’s friendly for anyone with a bit of endurance. You’ll find the riding pretty relaxed, with very few busy roads and just a touch of elevation—enough for variety but nothing too intense. Along the way, enjoy peaceful lakeside stretches, charming Balaton villages, and vineyards sprawling over the hills as you approach Badacsonytomaj.

Once you hit Badacsonytomaj, treat yourself to some local wine on a terrace with panoramic views—it’s a region famous for its volcanic-soil vineyards. All in all, this is a classic Balaton bike ride: scenic, tranquil, and a perfect taste of the lakeshore lifestyle.
