Excursión ciclista de un día de Komló a Pécs

Here’s a great ride for those wanting to explore a hidden corner of southern Hungary! Starting in Komló—a former coal mining town nestled in rolling hills—you’ll pedal south towards the lively city of Pécs. The distance is just under 25 km, so it’s perfect for a half-day adventure.

Expect a good amount of climbing (almost 500 meters total), but the scenery rewards your effort, as you’ll wind through the woodsy hills of the Mecsek Mountains. The route is mostly on quiet roads and tracks—ideal if you prefer peace over city traffic. Since over 80% of the surface type isn’t specified, be ready for a mix, possibly some older pavement and rougher sections. It’s a ride for wider tires and a spirit of adventure!

Your destination, Pécs, is a jewel of Hungarian culture—famous for its Mediterranean atmosphere, Roman ruins, and the UNESCO-listed Early Christian Mausoleum. Grab a coffee in Széchenyi Square and soak in the vibes after your ride!
