Gita in bici di un giorno da Szob a Kismaros

This scenic cycling route takes you from Szob, nestled right on the Danube and known as Hungary’s northernmost railway town, to the charming riverside village of Kismaros. Covering just under 21 km, most of your ride flows along well-maintained, paved paths—perfect for a leisurely spin or a family outing. You’ll find yourself rolling mostly on real cycleways (about 80% of the time!), with only brief stretches shared with quiet local roads.

The route is mostly flat, with gentle ascents and descents—just enough to keep things interesting without breaking a sweat. You’ll weave through tranquil riverside landscapes and lush greenery, with the Danube often in sight. Don’t be surprised if you spot kayakers paddling downstream or catch the distant chime of a train along the famous Vác–Szob railway line.

At the finish, Kismaros awaits—this cozy village is the gateway to the legendary Börzsöny hills, a favorite weekend escape for locals. Grab a coffee or a homemade cake at one of the bakeries, or just soak up the friendly small-town vibe before heading back.
