Cycling from Budapest to Balaton | Bikepacking Europe Ep.2 - Hungary

Bikepacking across Europe, second week.This week has been less about making kilometres, but more about discovering the culture and traditions of Hungary and taking some time off to process my emotions, make some necessary budget and planning and give a rest to my muscles.The beginning of this bike packing adventure has been filled with emotions, both good and bad, but I am so happy I overcame the overwhelming feeling of giving up I had in the first days. Every minute has been really worth it. During this second week of cycling, I reached two of my highlights for Hungary: visiting Budapest and swimming in Balaton. Budapest is such an amazing city, worth its name as the pearl of the Danube and after leaving and biking through the heat and dust, I was really happy to cool off by swimming in lake Balaton. After leaving the Danube in the previous week and until Budapest, the roads were quite difficult, so I was really happy to meet on my way some segments of the eurovelo cycling network. With this week, I getting closer and closer to the Slovenian border, where another big milestone, but also challenge awaits, but more of that in next week’s video! ▬ Content of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 In this episode 01:19 Leaving Gyöngyös 02:17 Breakfast ritual of a bikepacker 02:50 Fullspeed to Budapest 03:44 The best-invested money ever 04:15 Welcome to Budapest! 05:15 Washing clothes as a bikepacker 07:02 A tour through Budapest 11:03 How do I finance this tour? 13:31 Let’s have a good ride day through Hungary 14:25 A storm is in the air 17:37 Lake Balaton 20:03 The perfect wild camping spot 21:21 A day along Lake Balaton 22:39 Finally a jump in the water 22:51 The end of the 2nd cycling week 23:23 A mix of emotions so far 25:00 Thank you for watching #bikepacking #europebybike #bikepackingadventure #peaksofeurope #eurovelo #bikepackinggearlist #bikepackingsetup #bikepackingtrip #europe #gravelbike #discovereurope #pushyourlimits #bikeeurope #cyclinglife #cycling #adventurebike #gravelriding #travelbybike #adventurecycling #untraveledroads ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ If you are curious and want more insights into my #adventure, make sure you follow me on my Instagram account:   / _untraveledroads_
