Through this multi-stage thermal chain, we can explore the rich area southeast of the Hungarian-Serbian-Romanian triple border. We start south from the blooming Tisza region, where besides Kanizsa you can experience a special rural wellness, then we cycle through regions once inhabited by Swabians. We visit the two defining major cities of the area, Timișoara and Arad, and also look out to a once nationally renowned spa town. We cycle a bit in the Banat mountains to finish our journey between the Mureș and Körös rivers.

Author’s recommendation

The route series is just one possible itinerary. The countless thermal baths of the Carpathian Basin can be explored in any variation. Let's get on our bikes to discover the treasures of our country and then immerse ourselves in them!
