The St. Mary Way is a network of pilgrimage routes across Central Europe, connecting the shrines of the Virgin Mary. The Way has two main axes: the pilgrimage route from west to east connects Mariazell in Austria with Șumuleu Ciuc (Csíksomlyó) in Transylvania. While the north-south pilgrimage route connects Czestochowa, the Pauline shrine of the Polish with Medjugorje in Bosnia. This branch is still under construction. So, the pilgrimage route St. Mary Way is still being built. The route of the hiking tour we offer is the same as the route of the future Marianka/Máriavölgy pilgrimage. The starting point of the pilgrimage is Báč/Bácsfa and the destination is Marianka (Bratislava). The total distance is 53 km, which can be covered in 3 days.

The weather is nice and the weekend is coming up, how about a bike ride to some scenic location? Riding around the Balaton is too much of a challenge. We should begin with a smaller lake, but which way to go? The answer is simple: head for the Szigetköz and Csallóköz.

We start from the hills of Écs with their deep ravines and head toward the Bakony. During the course of this tour we will have plenty of opportunity to become acquainted with the towns and villages on our way and to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
