Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Pécs à Bükkösd

Hop on your bike in Pécs, one of Hungary’s most vibrant cultural cities at the foot of the Mecsek hills, and set out westward towards the peaceful village of Bükkösd. This ride is just under 35 km, making for a solid outing whether you’re looking for a day adventure or a leisurely pedal. You’ll climb and descend gentle hills (expect about 270 m up and 310 m down), rolling through mostly tracks and quiet country roads, with just a splash of busier sections.

While much of the surface is unspecified, you’ll hit plenty of smooth asphalt and paved stretches—so a sturdy hybrid or gravel bike is recommended, just in case the tracks get a bit rustic. On the way, soak up the pastoral views and the sense of rural Hungary. Once you arrive in Bükkösd, don’t miss its pretty surroundings, with nearby forests and a famous wildlife park perfect for a post-ride wander. This is an ideal route for those who want a peaceful ride with a bit of adventure off the main roads!
