The city of Győr is almost synonymous with Baroque becoming the defining style of art during the Turkish occupation of Hungary, as it is considered to be one of the most important centers of the Baroque period. However, the style was popular in other towns and villages of the region too. Seek out these beautiful buildings and sculptures and experience the spirit of the Baroque period.

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 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.
