CYCLING TOUR

 

The area is mainly flat towards the east of Zalakaros with almost no rises – this is true for 35 km and 45 km tours, but coming back to the town we can get the feel of Zalakaros Hills: cycling up on narrow paths, between grapevines on short but quite hard slopes.

WATER TRIPS ON RIVER ZALA

Zala river is the main river flowing into Lake Balaton. Its source is in the hills of Alpokalja, between Szentgotthárd and Őriszentpéter near the border with Austria. The river is feeded by several smaller rivers coming from the water of Black Pond, Sphagnum Moore and many other small brookes. It goes across Zala hills, reaches Kis Balaton and finally flows into Lake Balaton in the south part of Keszthely Bay at Fenékpuszta. From a small brooke it becomes a small river during its route of almost 140 kilometres. It flows through Zalaegerszeg and Kis Balaton making its journey more special.

SEGWAY ZALAKAROS

Environment friendly ride!

Conservation areas, reserved forests and beautiful parks can be reached during a segway tour calmly and fast. Extreme terrain is not a problem so Segways can be a good alternative of noisy and not environment friendly ’off road’ vechicles. This is the first self-balancing vechicle invented to take you anywhere. It is a possible way to travel fast with fun.

Segway is fantastic because when you lean against it still remains vertical, though it has only 2 wheels. It contains an interesting technology, no breaks, no gas it is driven by our body movement. 

Extreme terrain cannot cause a problem, you can use segways on rough, forest or muddy terrain and on slopes too.

If you are adventurous enough you can ride to Water the Buffalo Reserve in Kápolnapuszta with a 5 hour trip.
