Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Székesfehérvár do Balatonkenese

This scenic cycling route takes you from Székesfehérvár—a historic Hungarian city known as the former royal residence and coronation site—to the charming lakeside town of Balatonkenese, located on the northeast shore of Lake Balaton. The journey covers just over 44 km, mostly along well-paved surfaces and a good mix of cycleways and quiet country roads, so you can expect a smooth, relaxed ride with very little time spent on busy streets.

Along the way, you’ll pedal through gentle rolling landscapes, climbing gradually for a total ascent of about 258 meters. Székesfehérvár offers a fascinating start with its medieval town center, and as you approach Balatonkenese you’ll catch your first glimpses of Lake Balaton—the “Hungarian Sea.” The lakeshore is known for its peaceful beaches and stunning sunsets.

This route is great for recreational cyclists looking for something manageable yet rewarding, and with very minimal gravel sections, it’s well-suited for road bikes. Be sure to reward yourself with a lakeside treat when you reach Balatonkenese!
