The Upper Tisza region offers a whole arsenal of bicycles and water tours for explorers. For those looking for adventures and places with a special atmosphere, for those who are attracted to the spirit of the place. In this mixed tour, i.e. bicycle and water tour combination, you can get to know such a place whose main character is the Old Túr. The base of the tour is Kölcse, which is an ideal starting point for cycling and water tours. Kayak, canoe and bicycle rental are also available. It is no coincidence that in addition to cycling tour routes, water tour routes are also extremely popular in the region. Most water tours take place on the Tisza and Old-Túr rivers. The Old-Túr river is considered to be the most authentic and most close-to-nature water tour route in Hungary.

Imagine as if you were paddling in an undisturbed forest on an ever-meandering river. The tour will be really adventurous, as you often have to lift the boat over an overturned tree - it will be a real team building task. The water is shallow, slow, so extremely safe, especially ideal for families or school groups. In the other part of the tour you can go on a great cycling tour to Szatmár, to get to know the picturesque Tiszahát, where in addition to the unique natural environment, you can meet many literary historical memorial site and first-class monuments.
