Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Miskolc à Eger

Get ready for an adventurous ride from Miskolc to Eger! This cycling route covers just over 71 km and winds through some beautiful northern Hungarian countryside. Starting in Miskolc—a city famous for its historic Avas Hill and the atmospheric Cave Bath in nearby Miskolctapolca—you’ll head southwest, passing forests and rolling hills.

Expect a good amount of climbing (over 1500 meters ascent), making it a fairly challenging ride, especially with some sections on gravel and unpaved tracks. About half the route is missing surface info, but the rest is a mix of asphalt and paved roads, mostly on quiet roads and cycleways, so traffic shouldn't be a big concern.

You'll finish in Eger, a charming baroque town known for its castle, thermal baths, and the famous “Bull’s Blood” red wine. Make sure to stroll through the cobbled streets or relax in one of its many wine cellars. Bring snacks and water, as the rural sections offer few services. This ride combines hills, culture, and some great Hungarian scenery—perfect for adventurous cyclists!
