Debrecen’s Cycle Path Network is Constantly Expanding

On 27th March, hundreds of cyclists inaugurated Debrecen’s newest section of the cycle path, which allows cycling enthusiasts to cycle from the city centre through the Biczó István Garden to the Bánki Arboretum.

As temperatures and sunshine hours rise, more and more people are taking to their bicycles, which have been in storage until now, and using them daily as a means of transport. Cycling means reducing emissions to zero, travelling fast and living a healthier life in body and mind. In Debrecen, the number and total length of cycle paths has multiplied in recent years; by the end of the year, the city’s cycle path network will reach 108 kilometres. It is planned to cycle as far as Hortobágy.
