The Balaton Raid is a perfect raid for light Enduro Bikes.
The Balaton Raid is a perfect raid for light Enduro Bikes. We ride on routes through the beautiful, soft hilly landscape around Lake Balaton. We spend the nights in typical hotels and guest houses and pass castles that are well-known across the country's borders. A highlight is the trip with the ferry boat to the south shore of the lake on stage 3.
The daily stages are between 100 and 140 km long. The level of difficulty is tailored to beautiful and relaxed enduro riding through the hills of the Hungarian Lake Balaton region. The tour is structured in such a way that we don't start too early in the morning and reach the midday point after about 3 hours and then the hotel in another three hours. We have enough time for lunch and a cozy get-together in the hotel in the evening to enjoy the tour.
We lead the tour in different groups according to riding ability levels.
We love this cozy hotel. It is simple, comfortable, has a beautiful pool and a spa in the middle of the hotel's own park and you will also rave about the restaurant.
