Dunafalva - Újmohács - Homorúd - Karapancsa (Hercegszántó) - Hercegszántó - - Dunafalva
This tour offers plenty to see and experience for those who are interested in natural wonders but also for those who are after cultural gems. We can discover nature reserves, see a castle, cycle along the Eurovelo 6 and 13 routes and we can relax in one of the spas.
The road leading from Dunafalva to Mohács can be reached at the end of Teleki Street. This is the Eurovelo 6 cycle route which offers us perfect quality cycleway. Along the way we can see a floodplain forest and some friendly farms. It's worth enjoying the calm landscape and relaxing atmosphere of this section of our tour.
Before reaching Újmohács, we can take a detour to the right on a little winding dirt road to a small beach.
At the crossing of Eurovelo 6 and Szegedi Road, we turn in the direction of Újmohács, and cycle past the now defunct Margitta Mill.
We continue our journey on the Eurovelo 13 to Lake Riha which we cross on a small bridge. In the curve of the lake we can see the small area of Riha, which is part of Homorúd. The only sights here are a small wayside cross, a belltower and a memorial plaque.
The lake itself is difficult to reach, we can cycle to the shore only on a very bumpy road. In a short time we reach Homorúd.
After a longer section, we reach Budzsák (part of Hercegszántó) where we turn right and cross the bridge. Cyling along the river, we get to Karapancsa, one of the most interesting sight of the tour.
After returning to the crossing at Budzsák, we continue cycling towards Hercegszántó.
Our next stop, Dávod can be reached on a less busy road. After the center of the town we can go to the Püspökpuszta outskirts on a cycle lane where we find a beautiful line of sycamore trees, a church, a water park and sports-grounds.
More daring cyclist can venture into the nature reserve of Lake Földvári but for doing this a tracking bike is a must.
We cycle back to Dunafalva along a nice landscape. From the main road we turn back to the town at the wayside cross.
