Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Veszprém do Herend

Spin out of Veszprém’s historic old town and into the gentle foothills of the Bakony for a roughly 22 km ride to Herend. Expect rolling terrain with around 340 m of climbing—nothing too long, but a few punchy rises to keep the legs honest. The route mixes dedicated cycleways and quiet roads with some farm/forest tracks; it’s mostly paved, though you’ll hit short stretches of gravel and hard-packed ground, so wider tires are a plus.

Veszprém, one of Hungary’s oldest cities and nicknamed the “City of Queens,” is worth a quick wander for its castle district and panoramic views before you roll out. As you near Herend, the landscape opens and the grades ease off a bit. At the finish, reward yourself at the world‑famous Herend Porcelain Manufactory and museum—crafting hand‑painted porcelain since 1826.

Tips: bring a couple of gears for the climbs, a spare tube for the mixed surfaces, and plan a café stop at the porcelain center.
