Iron Curtaion Trail

This trial is equal to the EuroVelo (European Cycle Route Network) 13 and obtained the European Cultural Route certificate in 2019. The trial hasn’t finished yet, but it would be the longest EuroVelo trial; it would follow the track of the formal Iron Curtain, which separated the formal communist countries, from the Barents see to the Black see.
On this more than 10000 km route, the bikers can learn about European history from the end of the WW II till the collapse of the Soviet Union. After the demolishment of the iron curtain, the military objects, which once had guarded the borders, became memorial sites. The borderline is a rich natural environment with unique flora and fauna.
Hiking routes are joined to the bike routes and information can obtain by Apps too.
The route arrives in Hungary from Austria and lefts it to Serbia, Croatia or Slovenia. The bikers can reach natural parks, touristic venues and memorial sites eg. the memorial site of the Pan-European Picnic, Sopron; the Iron Curtain Museum, Felsőcsatár or the Iron Curtain memorial site, Felsőszölnök.
