Quick ride by bicycle from Balatonszárszó to Balatonföldvár

This easy-going cycling route starts in the laid-back town of Balatonszárszó, well-known for its literary connections—famed Hungarian poet Attila József spent time here—and friendly lakeside vibe. Pedal north-east for a little over 5 km along mostly quiet, smooth asphalt roads (perfect for a relaxed ride!), never far from the sparkling shore of Lake Balaton.

The way is flat, with just a hint of a climb and descent, so anyone can enjoy the route. With little traffic and scenic sections, it’s a favorite for families or those looking for a peaceful spin. You’ll roll into Balatonföldvár, famous for its grand villas and belle époque ambience, plus a lively marina. It’s a lovely spot to grab an ice cream and enjoy the beautiful lake panorama before heading back or exploring more of the southern Balaton coast. Don’t forget your camera—both towns are photogenic and full of character!
