Would you like to take a one-day bicycle tour that’s not just about monotonous riding with an odometer attached to your arm, but is rich in attractions? Then we have designed this tour especially for you, as the route leads through towns, villages and forests, and you can see castles, churches, ancient ruins and admire the natural world of Little Rye Island (Szigetköz) and the Danube River. If you don’t believe that so many sights can be fitted into just one trip, make your bike ready and try out our tour!
Thanks to its natural and cultural endowments, the former centre of the “thousand-year-old Moson County” offers attractions to visiting tourists all year round. Nowadays, it is mainly the medicinal water that attracts visitors, but this town in Little Rye Island is not lacking in cultural and historical attractions either.
This village near the Hungarian-Slovak border is a well-known stop for the community of cyclists due to the proximity of the EuroVelo 6 cycle route. The road leads to Dunakiliti through the village of Feketeerdő and is a perfect place to rest after the distance cycled so far. For the visitors, we recommend the Kiserdei promenade and educational trail, as well as the half-finished dam.
This village is bordered by Slovakia to the north and Austria to the west. Here we enter the already mentioned EuroVelo 6 cycle route and cross the Hungarian-Slovak border. Near the village, there is a sculpture park in memory of the former wire fence, which marked the triple border.
The village closest to the Hungarian-Slovak border is known mainly for its natural (water) attractions. The bird-watching tower, not far from the village, and the “lakes of Čunovo” which can also be reached by bike provide a perfect environment for admiring the birds and the stunning natural beauties along the Danube River. Lovers of culture can visit the Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum, which is only 5 km from Čunovo.
This once independent village is now part of the city of Bratislava, and its most famous symbols are the Zichy Castle and Castle Park. The castle is in need of renovation; the Slovak government together with the city administration of Bratislava plan to modernize it in the near future. The open-air exhibition called Museum Ancient Gerulata, preserving the memory of the Roman era, is also found in Rusovce. An educational trail located not far from the exhibition shows visitors the surrounding natural world. The café, Sankt Vitus Kaffe, opened in the former church that was built in Romanesque style and offers a great opportunity to relax.
Our journey leads us back to the starting point of the cycling tour, to Mosonmagyaróvár, on the EuroVelo 6 cycle route, through the villages of Čunovo, Rajka and Bezenye.

Thermal tour
The name of the next tour including the word “thermal” can be misleading as it is really a bicycle tour. We recommend it to those who would like to cycle, but also desire a little relaxation at the end of the day. The route we offer connects the medicinal and adventure spas of the Rye Island as part of a bicycle tour. The participants of the tour have the opportunity to visit each of the thermal spas, get to know the landscape of the Rye Island while cycling, and protect the Nature, as their emission is almost zero. The starting point is Komárom and the destination is Dunajská Streda. The chosen route is also favourable for those who are willing to cycle “only” to the destination, as there is an (indirect) train line between the two towns.
The Ravazd Forest fork – green
An easy tour through the woods suitable for all ages in the Ravazdi Forestry. There are plenty of sights to see while wandering through the town, the well of Béla IV is an ideal place to stop and rest. According to the tale, the king and his armies stopped to rest by the spring and drink from its waters when they were fleeing from the Tatars.
