Date: 23 March 2022.
Distance: 58 km
Duration: 5-6 hours
Weather: 21°C, sunny
Departure: Káposztásmegyer, Megyeri road
Arrival: Szob, Rév street

The full day tour starts at the tram stop at Budapest, Káposztásmegyer, Megyeri út. Passing through Megyeri road and Óceánárok streets, you will reach Váci road, where you will join the Eurovelo 6 cycle route from Újpest. Passing under the Megyeri Bridge and then Székesdűlő, we follow the newly built high-quality cycle path alongside the main road, which bends at the roundabout before Dunakeszi, leaving the busy road. After a few kilometres you will reach Folyam Street, which will take you to the banks of the Danube and the beach of Dunakeszi. After Horányi Rév, we leave the direct Danube bank via Kiscsurgó Street and cycle along the Pihenő promenade to Göd. In Göd we meander through low-traffic small streets, then we reach the waterworks and end up directly at the Danube again. From here on, the route follows more and more of a nature trail, so if you don't want to cycle through Budapest on the cycle path along Váci út or on the quiet but still urban routes, you should take the train to Göd station and join the Eurovelo route via Köztársaság street.

Passing through Felsőgöd and Sződliget, often in wooded or waterside surroundings, the journey continues towards Vác. After passing through Vác, the route continues along the Danube to the Kőhíd housing estate, then briefly moves away from the river and climbs up a slight hill to the main road to Verőce. After Verőce and the close-knit village of Kismaros, we leave the small town environment behind and pass through quiet fields to reach Nagymaros. In the town, it's worth taking a break, sitting on one of the terraces and admiring the Visegrád Castle on the other side. After Nagymaros, a few kilometres further on, you'll be back on the main road, which is already less frequented here, on a safe, separate cycle path to Zebegény. From Zebegény we take a very nice coastal road to our final destination, Szob.

The video was taken on a weekday in March. On weekends and in the summer there are significantly more people on the route. The footage was shot with the Timewarp (Hyperlapse) function of the GoPro Hero 10 camera in 4K quality. Sit back on the couch and enjoy this virtual tour!
