Tour Horizont Route
The route stretches from Szentgotthárd to Budapest, taking you through forests, rolling hills, and hidden trails. The track (60% paved, 40% unpaved) leans heavily into the gravel discipline: alongside fast gravel sectors, you will encounter secluded historical sites, breathtaking panoramas, and untouched landscapes. Designed by riders, for riders. While the technical difficulty is not extreme, the significant total elevation gain and relentless climbing present a serious endurance challenge—but the cultural adventure along the way makes every single effort entirely worth it.
Ride Hungary’s official bike Adventure Route
This is the official, celebratory event of the year-round signposted Horizont cycling trail. A journey through Hungary's diverse landscapes where the route transforms into a "living corridor," and where every single kilometer offers new experiences, inspiration, and the opportunity to reconnect with yourself.
Be Part of a True Cycling Community
A unique community experience where every participant matters. Connect with your fellow riders, share your experiences on the designated channels, look out for one another in times of need, and grow together throughout the adventure. Here, sportsmanship and genuine care shape us into one interconnected community.
Discover Scenic and Cultural Treasures
Breathtaking panoramas, touristic discoveries, and cultural adventures await us. You will ride from the hidden villages of the Őrség region, through the rolling hills of the Balaton Uplands, and along the wild forest trails of the Bakony and Vértes hills all the way to the capital, while the local communities along the way truly become a part of this celebratory cycling event.
Challenge Yourself, Your Way
A non-competitive cycling experience completed at your own pace. Find your own rhythm of pedaling, which helps you reconnect with yourself, your own joys, and your inner struggles. Ride at your own pace and write the story of your own adventure—because here, the real answers are waiting for you out on the climbs and in the sunsets.
A True Adventure
The Tour Horizont is a community cycling experience where the focus is not on speed or ruthless, solitary performance, but on long-distance shared riding. It is a true celebration, where local residents and the towns along the route become active participants alongside the riders. Organized by the KLND team, the event shares a grand joint start from the very same location as the Hungarian Divide, a legendary fixture in the bikepacking community. Whether you are a slower-paced observer, an ultra-cyclist chasing a sport performance, an adventurous touring rider, or a cycling pilgrim searching for an inner journey—you belong here with us.
