Explore Csömör from two different perspectives: at the fishing lake, the focus is on the landscape and wildlife, while the 20-kilometre Csömöri Circular Route introduces the municipality’s natural, local historical and cultural features. The route is described for both walkers and cyclists, but the two versions do not follow exactly the same course. When planning, it is therefore worth distinguishing between a trip to the lake, a walk in stages and the longer cycling route.

Nature and facilities at Csömör Fishing Lake

Woods, trees and fields surround Csömör Fishing Lake. Many bird species and turtles live at the lake. Families with children and day-trippers can make use of an outdoor fitness park, a playground and a public toilet. If any of these facilities are important for your visit, check their current status in advance, as they may change. The lake can be treated as a destination in its own right; the circular route, by contrast, offers a longer course with several route features and sights.

The Csömöri Circular Route on foot

The Csömöri Circular Route is 20 kilometres long in total and is designed as both a hiking and cycling route. You can choose how much of it to walk: the marked trail can be divided into shorter sections of your choice. With a map, it is easy to find your way back to the centre of Csömör from almost any point on the route. Dividing the route into stages does not change its total length; it simply lets you plan to walk only part of it.

There are 18 detailed information boards along the walking route. Illustrated with photographs and old maps, they introduce the municipality’s features. Together with the option of walking shorter sections, the boards give the walking route a clear local focus: you can cover as much of the route as you choose while also learning more about Csömör.

By bike: a different mix of routes

The cycling route is also 20 kilometres long. Half of it overlaps with the walking route, while the other half passes additional sights. The two options therefore differ in more than just the mode of transport: the cycling route adds extra points of interest to the shared section. It passes a Jewish cemetery, a bell tower, a viewpoint overlooking the Buda and Pilis Mountains, Csömör Fishing Lake and the aluminium footbridge and cycle bridge over the M0.

The cycling route is mostly flat, but has a few short, gentle uphill and downhill sections. Take both features into account when planning: the largely level terrain and the handful of short climbs and descents. This will help you compare the cycling option with the walk in terms of route length, terrain and additional sights.

Getting there by bike

If you would like to bring your bike, the Csömör–Budapest Örs vezér tere HÉV line is also relevant when planning your journey: bicycles can be carried on this line. Check the operator’s current rules before travelling. This information adds a practical travel consideration to your choice between the walking and cycling routes without implying that the two routes are the same.
