From Britain to Mesopotamia, the Roman Empire conquered the entirety of the Mediterranean coastal regions and at its peak, controlled a 6 000 000 km stretch of dry land. Defending such an expansive empire that was also very diverse geographically and culturally was only possible under very organized conditions. The several thousand kilometer long Limes (Latin: “path”) served this purpose, the borderline traversing thousands of kilometers across mountains and valleys, winding along the river lines was given the name “ripa.” The section of Roman limes along the Danube in Hungary bears the name Ripa Pannonica. Visit each of the municipalities where the remnants of the limes can be seen. And while you're on the tour, do not forget that you are at a potential World Heritage sight, as this section of the limes is among the Hungarian sights on the UNESCO world heritage tentative list.

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.

Anyone who regularly searches for tours on the website may come across headlines that are not clear, and the type of the tour is not obvious at first sight. In this case, however, the name of the bike tour clearly reveals what the tourists who choose this route can expect. Using the bike path along the Danube, we invite you to take the 64 km long cycle tour, where the untouched “European rainforests” and the man-made Danube landscape are alternating. The route starts and ends in the village of Hamuliakovo (Gútor), so you do not need to worry about getting back to your car.
