Lake Tisza lies within the municipal boundaries of Sarud and within the jurisdiction and area of activity of the Hortobágy National Park Directorate. In Sarud, cycling by the lake, local culture, animal experiences and places to stop for food are distinct highlights. When planning your trip, it helps to consider the options according to your interests and the season: cycling routes can be compared by distance, while animal activities and dining options may be seasonal.
Cycling on Lake Tisza
At KalandPart, the Lake Tisza Cycle Route in Sarud runs directly along Lake Tisza. Tisza-Tó Bike is an e-bike and bicycle station on the cycle route by KalandPart; its service availability may vary seasonally. If you are planning to use a particular bicycle service, check its availability in advance. The two named cycling routes differ in length: the Tisza-tó Kis Kör is 65.7 km long, and the Tisza-tó Nagy Kör is 95 km long. The difference between the two distances is 29.3 km. This comparison gives you a concrete basis for deciding how many kilometres you would like to cover on your ride. The Nagy Kör is around 45 percent longer than the Kis Kör, based on the shorter route’s 65.7 kilometres.
Village culture and different animal experiences
There are two different themes to choose from for local culture: the Holy Trinity Church is recommended as a visitor attraction, while the Village Museum evokes memories of village life in the past. The Aprópolisz Playmobil Role-Playing House is another visitor attraction; it is located in the building of Varsa Élményporta in Sarud.
The Tisza-tavi MiniZoo, also known as AprajaFarmja Parasztudvar, welcomes visitors who love animals. The hands-on animal experiences include interacting with and petting them. At the same time, the experience introduces children and adults to wildlife and the importance of environmental education and nature conservation. The program is seasonal, so plan your visit with the season in mind.
EBpart is the first dog beach on Lake Tisza and is located on the shore of the Sarud Basin in Sarud. The animal-related options therefore differ significantly: EBpart is a dog beach, while the MiniZoo combines animal encounters with environmental education and nature conservation.
Places to stop along the cycling route and lakeshore
Sarudi Töltés Fröccsterasz és Hamburgerező is a place to stop for food on the Lake Tisza Cycle Route near Sarud. In 2024, it was named the year’s bicycle-friendly service provider. The Gasztropart street-food businesses are located on the shore of Lake Tisza in Sarud and are visited by walkers and day-trippers. This gives you two different settings to consider when choosing where to stop: the cycling route at Sarudi Töltés and the lakeshore at Gasztropart.
Sarudi Töltés Fröccsterasz és Hamburgerező may operate seasonally; individual Gasztropart outlets may also be seasonal. Before planning a stop, check whether the place you have in mind is open at the time of your visit.
