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 leave the hustle and bustle of the city and go off in search of adventure toward Écs and view the area’s cultural values from easy-to-cycle roads and pebble paths.

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.
