BBT-Guided eBike Tour: Zelna Trail Tour

Meeting & DepartureWe’ll be waiting for you at Zelna Bistro. Bicycle pickup and setup will take place before departure, followed by a briefing on the program and a test ride. We begin our tour with a leisurely bike ride on a bike path toward the Tihany Peninsula. After a short climb, we’ll find ourselves in the interior of the peninsula, cycling through a wooded, hilly landscape.

Tihany Farkasverem

We reach the Tihany Farkasverem area by cycling along dirt roads. The volcanic rocks and the special warm microclimate create an ideal environment for viticulture. Then we continue on toward the romantic village of Sajkod, still traveling along the peninsula. We’ll almost be pedaling right into Lake Balaton—we’ll get that close to the water. Leaving the peninsula behind, we’ll turn toward Aszófő.

Penke and Nyerges vineyards

After Aszófő, we leave the asphalt behind, and the climbs are easier to tackle in the saddle of our e-bikes. Above Balatonszőlős, we visit the newer vineyards of Zelna Winery, Penke and Nyerges vineyards known for their limestone soil.

Farkó-kő

Turning back toward the lake, we find ourselves once again among the vine arbors, and from a distance, we can admire Tihany and the landscape we have left behind. The uniqueness of Farkó-kő lies not only in its climatic conditions but primarily in its limestone subsoil. In addition to the calcareous limestone, we also frequently encounter fossils, which are unique to the area.

Back to Balatonfüred

From there, it takes only a few minutes to reach the bustling promenade of Balatonfüred, where a refreshing stop awaits us at Zelna Bistro— the perfect way to end the day.
