Cycling day trip from Eger to Miskolc

This ride takes you from the historic town of Eger to Miskolc, winding through about 74 km of Northern Hungary’s beautiful countryside. Eger, famous for its baroque architecture, thermal baths, and the iconic Eger Castle, is a great spot to start your adventure.

You’ll enjoy quiet scenic roads and dedicated cycleways for much of the route, cutting through forests and rolling hills with some serious up-and-down action—expect to climb nearly 1,450 meters! Surfaces are varied, with some stretches of smooth asphalt, paved roads, and the occasional gravel or unpaved section, so a sturdy bike is recommended.

As you approach Miskolc, the largest city in the region, look forward to more urban surroundings and maybe a visit to the unique Cave Bath in neighboring Miskolctapolca. All in all, this is a challenging but rewarding ride that shows off the charm and natural beauty of Northern Hungary—perfect for adventurous cyclists who don’t mind a few hills!
