Although the Middle Burgenland is known as "Blaufränkischland", Sopron is the "capital of Blaufränkisch". The round tour from the city center leads through the typical wine-growing district of Sopron, through the Poncichter District, which got its name from the German-speaking winemakers who grew beans alongside the vines (bean growers). We pass the second largest Gothic church in Hungary, St. Michael's Church, then touch the Tómalom Bath and follow the bed of the Rák Stream to Fertőrákos, where you can taste the wines of Fertőrákos in the Jandl Cellar. From Fertőrákos, the route continues between the vineyards to Balf, which is also famous for its wines. Those who want to admire the view with a glass of wine in hand can do so on the terrace of the Fényes Cellar. When we touch Balf, we reach Kópháza above the Kisbalf settlement part; then the vineyards of the Harkai Hill and the two characteristic churches of Harka, the medieval Church of St. Peter and St. Paul and the Lutheran Church, appear. If you are hungry, you can gather fresh strength for the return journey at the Harkai Fröccsterasz, from where EuroVelo13 cycle route leads back to Sopron.
