Rund um den Theißsee

The tour runs through the Tisza lakes landscape, redesigned and funded by the EU after 1990, with start and finish in Tiszafüred. The route follows entirely along the dikes of the river landscape on well-paved 2.5 m wide paths. From the dike, there are captivating views of the varied lakes landscape or the vastness of the Puszta. We cycled south along the east bank from Tiszafüred, where there are few opportunities to stop. This changes from km 25 at the southernmost point of the tour, in Abadszalok. Here there is also a 400 m long bathing beach with good water quality, visibility about 1.0 m. At km 30 is the dam; further villages and marinas on the west bank follow, offering chances to refresh. The tour is easily rideable with all types of bikes. We experienced temperatures of 36° on our tour – sun protection is advised, as almost the entire route is exposed.
