An active two days of cycling in the Julian Alps from our campsite at Lake Bled.

Ljubljana & Lendava
Lovely Ljubljana was settled so many thousands of years ago it hurts to think about it. It’s home to Romans, students and a 43,000 year old flute.
Lake Balaton
Lake Balaton is the largest freshwater lake in Central Europe and historically one of Hungary’s most popular tourist destinations. It’s also a great place to explore on two wheels!
Budapest
In the economic depression of 2011 in Hungary, we spent three days in Budapest which we hoped would be a highlight but instead proved one of the few lowlights of our trip.
Szentendre & Eger
Rural farmland, river villages and sampling Bulls Blood in the Valley of Beautiful Women at Eger.
Mountain Drive to the High Tatras
We aimed to leave Hungary at a quiet border crossing in the north which we anticipated would be police and checkpoint-free.
The High Tatras
Life on the road teaches you many things. On this adventure, we learnt the harsh lesson of how you can never rely on a cable car when the weather turns at altitude!
