Day 4 6/9 Lake Velence- Lake Balaton 73 km

A much cooler morning to wake up to, with a cloudy sky. The railway running next to our room became active very early so the noise had us up early.

There are so many modern railways in Hungary. Even single track lines are plentiful.

No lights or signs to warn of frequent trains!

We decided to cycle around the 10 km long lake Velence, as there was a dedicated cycle track all around it. We needed some off road biking!

We left lake Velence and finally found ourselves on a really good cycle path; such a relief

It was altogether a better day, with plenty of variety, more rolling countryside and mostly, provision for cyclists.

Even the large town of Székesfehérvár, had a good cycle route though it. We stopped for some snacks behind a brand new stadium and found some decking to relax upon.

Crumbs and apple peel were very much appreciated by these hungry fish swimming below us; carp, I think?

More pleasant cycling after lunch towards Lake Balaton, and an awareness we were approaching a holiday destination.

We just made it to the waters edge for a glorious sunset. Lake Balaton, central Europe’s largest lake.
Time to relax
