Gita in bici di un giorno da Sopron a Fertőd

Looking for a scenic ride through western Hungary? Try this 29.6 km cycling route from Sopron to Fertőd! You’ll start in Sopron, a charming border town famous for its medieval old town and wine culture, then wind eastward on predominantly smooth surfaces (mostly asphalt and cycleways, so it’s easy on the tires).

The route has a gentle overall downhill trend, but expect enough rolling hills to keep things interesting, with just over 228 meters of ascent (and even more descent). You’ll pass through peaceful countryside and small villages—perfect for soaking in rural Hungarian vibes.

End your ride at Fertőd, home to the spectacular Esterházy Palace, often called the “Hungarian Versailles.” It’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy some cake at the palace café, and take in a bit of history before heading back.

Tip: Keep an eye out for missing path sections and old paving stones—nothing major, but worth noting. Bring water, and savor the rural tranquility along the way!
