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 abbey in Pannonhalma and roll through the city to arrive in Győrság from where we will head straight to the end of our tour. This is an easy and relaxing afternoon ride suitable for all ages.

Pannonhalma and its region are wonderful tourist destinations: after a visit to a historical building how about going for a hike in the Sokoró Hills. It would be a shame to miss it, go and see it for yourself!
