Testimonial: from the Eurovelo 6 route between Szentendre and Budapest, you can explore the surrounding countryside by bicycle. You can explore the world and the beautiful mountains of Pilis on the marked paths painted on this difficult MTB hiking trail. Recommended for advanced cyclists only by mountain bike.
Route: the MTB stop in Pilis starts from the Eurovelo trail, next to Lupa Island, . We recommend to reach the starting point by bicycle from Szentendre or Budapest.
After the departure, the trail reaches Budakalász next to Lake Omszki, and the climb to the Kevély peaks starts from here. During the technical and steep climb we do not go up to the top, but on the border of Csobánka we can enjoy the fresh air and the view at an altitude of 415 meters.
Our tour between Csobánka and Pilisszántó goes back and forth around the Hosszú Hill from two sides. On the northern side we return to the Csobánkai saddle on scattered gravel roads, while on the south side we return to the Csobánkai saddle on technical, rooted, rocky dirt roads. A beautiful view opens up towards Pilisszántó in the north and Pilisszántó in the south, which fully compensates for the work done.
On the Csobánka section we climb back to Murvabánya on the same road, but this time the tour continues south towards Pilisborosjenő. A two-track connecting dirt road leads to the settlement, wherefrom we pass through Üröm on asphalt to Budapest. On the streets of the capital we reach the EV6 cycle path again on the Roman coast. It's an excellent opportunity to enjoy a refreshment after a difficult tour.
