    Balaton & Heviz
    Decided to take a little bit easier day now. We rode only 170 kilometers: First to the Lake Balaton and then to Lake Heviz.
    We came to the lake Balaton straight to the Tihany peninsula (actually I don’t know what the peninsula is called but this Tihany village is there anyway!)

    Lake Balaton

    From the south-end of Tihany you can take the ferry to the other side of the lake. It seemed that the ferry was full all the time! (but I didn’t check the price…)
    I tried to find the highest possible place (or road) from Badacsony Vulcano to see the the views to the lake.

    Where’s the mountain?

    There is quite many nice photos that people have been taking from that mountain… But this one is simply the BEST!
    In the forest we saw some instructions how to move and behave there in the mountain… Hungarian should be a relative language to Finnish but I didn’t understand anything!!

    Hungarian language

    Because it was quite hot day -maybe something like +32 celsius, we started to think what would be a nice place to cool down a little bit?
    We found this nice lake to take a swim:

    Splashes in Lake Heviz

    Lake Heviz is the biggest thermal lake in the world. The water temperature is +32 celsius! We had a hotel room just beside this Lake/ Spa… In out holiday this was maybe one of the “biggest tourist attractions” with such a many people everywhere.
    The route for this day was like this:

    Riding south from Poprad over the Lower Tatra mountains was great! The road had some very nice corners all the time. After the “big road” 66 we took the “smaller road” 531 and that was a little bit bumpy -but still a great ride for a motorcycle.

    Chmarošský Viadukt was just before we took the road 531

    After mountains our route was more about small road from one village to another. But then we rode through this:

    “Perse” means the Ass in Finnish!

    And soon we had another border to cross… We entered Hungary (6th country).

    Hrad Somoska castle

    We took the small roads after the border to this castle. We left the bike to Hungary and we walked all the way back to Slovakia (!!!) to this castle. That was about 200 meters…
    Then we still had one river to cross… The Danube river! And we did it with a ferry. We took the ferry from Nagymaros to Visegrad and the price was 1000 (!!!) -local currency and it’s about 3€.

    Nagymaros – Visegrad ferry

    After 344 kilometers riding we took the nice room from a guesthouse in a small Csakvar village. They had also very nice restaurant but they made a BIG mistake with breakfast! Here is the route for day 6:

  • East European Tour 4th day

    From Slovakia to Hungary and to Romania like this!
    Very nice day… also very hot day! First we had some Slovakian roads with not so tight corners until we got to the road 576 from Vechec to Herlany. That was pure adrenaline with very nice bends!

    Then there were few more when we crossed the border to Hungary. But soon after that Hungary was boring with full of straight roads and no mountains at all. This is how it was all the way to Romania.
    We rode through Tokaj -village. It was strange because suddenly I was thursty!
    066_nBut actually the only thirsty-one was the motorcycle! This is somewhere in the middle of Hungary after filling the tank.
    513_oAnd finally we arrived to Romania and a city called Satu Mare. Hotel Aramia parking places.
