Sortie rapide à vélo de Budapest XVI. kerület à Budapest X. kerület

Spin from the leafy, garden‑city streets of Budapest’s XVI. kerület toward Kőbánya in X. kerület. It’s about 13.7 km and basically flat, with only around 40 m of gentle climbing and a slight net descent. Expect an easy ride: roughly 60% on dedicated cycleways and most of the rest on quiet back streets. Surfaces are mostly smooth asphalt and other paved sections, with the occasional short mixed or paving‑stone patch.

District XVI is known for its suburban feel (think Mátyásföld and Cinkota) and the HÉV suburban railway toward Gödöllő. Rolling into X. kerület, you’ll meet Budapest’s industrial heritage vibe: Kőbánya is home to the Dreher Brewery and the striking Szent László Church with its Zsolnay tiles; Kincsem Park isn’t far if you fancy a detour.

Route tips: watch for a few bigger junctions as you approach Kőbánya and keep lights handy for any underpasses. Otherwise it’s smooth, suburban‑to‑urban cruising.
