Stage 4 (Mohács - Pécs, 188 km) 16 May 2026

Start: 16 May 2026 (Saturday) 12:00, Mohács, Deák Square
Finish: ~16:30 (CET), Pécs, Zoo
Elevation gain: 2080 m

The most difficult stage of Tour de Hongrie 2026 will take place on May 16. After the start in Mohács, the peloton will turn towards the Villány Mountains, a region rarely visited by the Tour de Hongrie. After the Villány-Harkány-Siklós loop, the riders will arrive in Pécs, where they will have to tackle the dreaded Bárány Road climb four times before reaching the finish line in front of the Zoo. The 188 km long stage, with an elevation gain of more than 2000 meters, will be crucial for the overall victory.

Mohács will mark a historic anniversary in 2026: exactly 500 years ago, one of the most important battles in Hungarian history, the Battle of Mohács, took place here. Alongside Gyula and Szarvas, the city is the third location in this year's race that has never hosted Tour de Hongrie before.

Pécs will be the most experienced host of the Hungarian Tour in 2026: this will be the 14th finish at the foot of the Mecsek Mountains, which has previously hosted 8 starts as well. The 5 km long Lapis climb, including the nearly 2 km long Bárány Road with an 11% gradient, is the most difficult mountain on the route. The city circuit also rewards aggressive riders twice: they can collect bonus seconds in two Intermediate Sprints on Széchenyi Square. The county seat of Baranya has hosted two mountain-top finishes so far: Marc Hirschi triumphed in front of the Zoo in 2023, followed by Wout Poels a year later.
