Investments to support cycling and equestrian tourism are being launched with EU support in Csongrád-Csanád County (in southeastern Hungary) – announced Béla Csáki, vice-chairman of the county assembly, on Monday in Szeged.
The politician announced the plan at a press conference held on the occasion of signing the consortium agreement that enables touristic developments implemented in the county with the support of HUF 3 billion (EUR 7,5 million) from the EU.
The projects will target the infrastructure serving cycling and equestrian tourism, as well as water facilities on the Maros and Tisza rivers.
Among the plans scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027, the leader of the consortium implementing developments related to the EuroVelo 13 international cycling routes and equestrian tourism, is the Mórahalom municipality, the vice-chairman announced.
Zoltán Nógrádi (from the governing Fidesz-KDNP Party), the mayor of Mórahalom, confirmed that HUF 500 million (EUR 1,3 Million) will be spent on establishing resting areas at 14 locations along the EuroVelo 13 cycle route, with toilets, water blocks, bicycle storage, and occasionally service points and e-bike charging facilities.
The EuroVelo 13 international cycle route runs from Kirkenes in northern Norway to Rezovó in Bulgaria, to the Black Sea coast, and its Hungarian section runs from Lake Fertő (western Hungary) to Tiszasziget village (south of Hungary), also touching neighboring countries.
In Szeged, resting places are being created at locations that attract many visitors, such as the university botanical garden, the wildlife park, the Franciscan church in the lower town, and the Újszegedi park.
The hiking trail returns to Vojvodina at Tiszasziget village, and the resting facility will be built at the lowest point in Hungary.

A “horseshoe-shaped” equestrian trail network is being developed in the county from Mórahalom to Hódmezővásárhely, which will make the most prominent tourist attractions of the region accessible. In addition to the designation of hiking trails, six stopping points will be built during the HUF 666 million (EUR 1,7 million) project, with a stable suitable for 12 horses, social rooms, and water facilities, the mayor revealed.
