Cherry Blossom Cycle Path (Kirschblütenradweg)

Highlight • Cycleway

A great tour around the lake with beautiful scenery, virtually no traffic, plenty of places to stop for refreshments, and a ferry ride – definitely an experience. Some gravel roads, very fine white gravel, and lots of asphalt.

July 6, 2026,Österreich 🇦🇹/Ungarn 🇭🇺: Neusiedlersee-Umrundung 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

The tour was challenging, especially at the end, with very strong wind. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, as the rain was always on the other side of the lake or in front or behind us. Timing is everything 😉. With a cloudless sky, I wouldn't recommend this tour in summer to anyone, as there is no shade. Nice …

The cycling paths in Hungary are 80% asphalt. From Pamhagen to Podersdorf, there was mostly a slight headwind. This was done by e-bike.

Unfortunately, on this stage I felt the effects of yesterday's exertion, including evening leg cramps. I couldn't get into the rhythm of cycling at all and the humid weather did the rest. The highlights of the tour were Esterhazy Castle (which was unfortunately closed) and that I kept going. Unfortunately, Lake Neusiedl is not actually visible on the circuit, except …
