Stage N6 Nagyatád (HU) – Drávatamási (HU): Explore beautiful nature’s treasures and hidden places

The central point of the section is the town of Barcs, which is called the “capital of Drava” in Hungary, providing both nature and a study-related tourism offer (Drava Gate Visitors’ Centre in Drávaszentes) and leisure facilities (the Barcs Spa and Recreation Centre). The town has several access points to the river, predominantly kept in their original natural state, and the river also marks the border with Croatia. Barcs is well-connected to the nearby areas with cycling infrastructure: the Barcs-Drávatamási bike path is the most beautiful section, routed along the river, in nature's embrace. Another genuine river view point is available at Vízvár, which is accessible by a 19-kilometre detour from Babócsa.

Stage N7 Drávatamási (HU) – Szaporca (HU): Through the villages of the enchanting Ormánság

Experience unique cycling holidays in the middle of the “enchanting Ormánság”, which is one of Hungary’s most isolated and depopulated areas. The whole section is dominated by the vicinity of the Drava river, as most of the route stretches right along the river, often on the dike, directly in contact with nature. This nature proximity means also scarcity of services: the route avoids most of the settlements, therefore thoughtful preparation is recommended and meals should be pre-ordered. On the other hand, the traveller may experience “being out in the middle of nowhere” and enjoying nature at its best.
