The bike route connecting Zsórifürdő and the Egerszalók baths. During a thermal route, you can bike between two baths in a rural environment.

On this route, we cycle from the land of the Matyó to a special area of the Eger wine region, where we reach a natural wonder found only in a few places in the world, created by the medicinal water. With approximately 2 hours of cycling, we reach the wonderful salt hill formed under the beehive stones by calcium-sodium-hydrocarbonate, fluorine, sulfur thermal water, which contrary to its name is not salt but a tufa hill due to precipitated calcium carbonate.
