The riverbank at Rómaifürdő is situated within an easy reach from the city centre. This is where the tour starts from, following a brief safety instruction.

Heading north against the current, we will paddle up the minor fork of the Danube along Szentendre Island. Arriving to the small Island of Lupa, there will be a rest at the wonderful pebbly beaches of the area.

Turning around the island, the easy part will follow then down the river, when you can go with the flow! Having the trip finished, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a relaxed evening in some of the open air bars at the riverbank.

Main sights:
Danube riverscape, distant Budapest cityscape, pebbly beaches and paddling fellows

Length of the trip:
ca. 14km (9 miles)

Level of physical difficulty:
Medium - There is definitely need for some efforts and physical fitness to move the canoe upstreams. Comfortably, this would take ca. 2.5-3 hours including breaks as necessary. The other way round will be easy fun then.

Paddling in a canoe is usually safe. However, rarely it may happen that the canoe capsizes. There will be drybags available to keep your valuables and spare clothes dry in such event.
