    Partium is a real treasure chest for tourists passing through. Starting from Gyula, we follow the hot springs all the way to the Gutin Mountains, then reach the salty lakes formed along the Maramureș salt mines. From the eastern part of the Great Plain, we occasionally wander to the forerunners of the Bihar Forest, visiting, among others, the birthplaces of János Arany, Ferenc Kölcsey, Endre Ady, and Margit Kaffka. Numerous castles, churches, and cultural heritage enrich the cycling experience in the territories of Bihar and Szatmár counties. Moreover, our route passes through a considerable number of Hungarian settlements, one of which once safeguarded the right hand of King Stephen I. After each section, there is the opportunity to rest in a thermal bath. Most of these thermal baths are suitable for alleviating musculoskeletal complaints. Through this route series, we can indulge our favorite hobby, cycling, while maintaining our joints.

    Author’s recommendation

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