Investments to support cycling and equestrian tourism are being launched with EU support in Csongr\u00e1d-Csan\u00e1d County (in southeastern Hungary) \u2013 announced B\u00e9la Cs\u00e1ki, vice-chairman of the county assembly, on Monday in Szeged.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The projects will target the infrastructure serving cycling and equestrian tourism, as well as water facilities on the Maros and Tisza rivers.<\/p>\n

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 M\u00f3rahalom municipality, the vice-chairman announced.<\/p>\n

Zolt\u00e1n N\u00f3gr\u00e1di (from the governing Fidesz-KDNP Party), the mayor of M\u00f3rahalom, 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.<\/p>\n

The EuroVelo 13 international cycle route runs from Kirkenes in northern Norway to Rezov\u00f3 in Bulgaria, to the Black Sea coast, and its Hungarian section runs from Lake Fert\u0151 (western Hungary) to Tiszasziget village (south of Hungary), also touching neighboring countries.<\/p>\n

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 \u00dajszegedi park.<\/p>\n

The hiking trail returns to Vojvodina at Tiszasziget village, and the resting facility will be built at the lowest point in Hungary.<\/p>\n

A \u201chorseshoe-shaped\u201d equestrian trail network is being developed in the county from M\u00f3rahalom to H\u00f3dmez\u0151v\u00e1s\u00e1rhely, 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.<\/p>\n
