    This thermal chain leads from Balf all the way to Barcs. From the shore of Lake Fertő through the Little Hungarian Plain, the Zala Hills, and the Inner Somogy region, we cycle all the way to the banks of the Drava. We pass through the Sopron and Zala wine regions and can admire Lake Hévíz and Little Balaton. Along the way, we can stop at the Sárvár arboretum, the Kemenes Volcano Park, or the Batthyány Castle in Zalaszentgrót. After each section, there is an opportunity to rest in a thermal bath. Most of these thermal baths have certified medicinal waters suitable, among other things, for treating musculoskeletal disorders. Through this series of routes, we can indulge in our favorite hobby, cycling, while taking care of our joints.

    Author’s recommendation

    The series of routes is just one possible guideline. The country's numerous thermal baths can be explored in any variation. Hop on your bike, discover the treasures of our homeland, and then immerse yourself in them!
