EuroVelo 11 East Europe Route

Hungary

The route from Tornyosnémeti to Szeged along the Tisza River is well known for its Natura 2000 protected sites, traditional architecture, the historic wine region of Tokaj and the outstanding recreational possibilities offered by the nearby Tisza Lake. A long section of the route runs along the top of one of the river's dykes and there are opportunities to visit natural reserves and to watch rare bird species on organised canoe trips at special visitor centres. The quality of the route and the level of connected services are under continuous improvement.
