On this route, we start from the foot of Gyula Castle heading northeast, where we cross the Black Körös, then cycle past Méhkerék, famous for its folk music, crossing the border. The plains are followed by Nagyszalonta, the birthplace of János Arany and István Sinka. In the town, there is the János Arany memorial museum and the only statue of Kossuth which was not demolished during the dictatorship. After Nagyszalonta, we find the Madarász Thermal Beach, where this section of the route ends.
Author’s recommendation
In Nagyszalonta, stop by the park next to the Reformed Church where you can listen to the Kossuth song every hour.
