Cycling tours<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you're a cycling enthusiast, there are really many routes to choose from. Perhaps one of the most beautiful routes is the section between Ver\u0151ce and Zebeg\u00e9ny, as is the route between Zebeg\u00e9ny and Esztergom with a small Slovak detour. But the Szentendre-Le\u00e1nyfalu-
\nThe Dunabogd\u00e1ny-Visegr\u00e1d-D\u00f6m\u00f6s-Esztergom route is also worth a visit.<\/p>\n

Pilis Bike<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thanks to the Pilis Bike forest biking network, you can cycle 330 km of forest paths, with different variations of tours. This includes 9 \"Park + Bike\" (P+B) car parks, from which you can choose from 28 different difficulty levels. Asphalted forest roads, rocky climbs, soft
\nsloping forest paths, good air and plenty of natural and cultural attractions. Choose the one that suits you best from the 9 hubs and then choose from 28 routes. You will find a description of the routes on the website. Up to Canga! Pilis Park Forest, parkerdo.hu\/tourism<\/a><\/p>\n

Scroll on Szentendre Island!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A great weekend programme. You can take the Hor\u00e1nyi ferry from Dunakeszi, 20 kilometres from the capital, to the island, which is a great place for a pleasant bike ride. The island also has a number of farms and riding stables, so you can try horse riding if you fancy. The most beautiful point of the island is the Szigetcs\u00facs at the northern end, where in summer bathers can enjoy the sandy, often reef-like beach and the wonderful view of the Visegr\u00e1d Hills and the B\u00f6rzs\u00f6ny.<\/p>\n

On the outskirts of Kisoroszi you can find Roman watchtowers. You can take the V\u00e1c ferry back to the other side of the Danube and, once in V\u00e1c, visit the sights and exhibitions of the Baroque town. From V\u00e1c, a cycle path along much of the river bank leads back to the capital.<\/p>\n

Splashing experiences<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The greatest attraction of the Danube Bend is the Danube. There are several places along its banks where you can enjoy the clear waters of the river in a pleasant environment. But remember: swimming in the river is not without danger, you have to follow the rules! In cooler weather, we recommend the warm-water baths. The banks of the Danube at Zebeg\u00e9ny, Ver\u0151ce, Pilismar\u00f3ti or Dunabogd\u00e1ny, Sand Island or the island peak of Kisoroszi at the northern end of Szentendre Island offer a true holiday experience with a wonderful panorama.<\/p>\n

Lake B\u00e1nki, also known as the \"sea lake\" of N\u00f3gr\u00e1d, is suitable for summer bathing, fishing and boating. Palatinus-T\u00f3f\u00fcrd\u0151 - between Esztergom and Dorog - is one of the cleanest lakes in Hungary, ideal for water sports and outdoor activities.<\/p>\n

Did you know that the first public baths in Hungary were founded by the first wife of King B\u00e9la III, Queen Anne of Antioch, near the hot springs at the foot of St. Thomas' Hill in Esztergom, and the lake of H\u00e9v\u00edz that fed from them? King B\u00e9la IV later donated the baths to the Order of the Crusaders, whose medicinal waters then supplied the needs of the hospital, the monastery and the surrounding area. The bathing culture survived into the Turkish era, when several spas were established in the town. By the 1930s, Esztergom was nationally ranked among the first-class spa towns, and began to be called the 'Baden' of Budapest. Today, the Aquasziget offers a splashing experience for young and old<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Forest train ride<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The entire section can be covered with two stops (M\u00e1rianosztr\u00e1n and Nagyirt\u00e1spuszt\u00e1n).
