Danube Bend Outdoor English Guided Duathlon, 2 October
From the organisers: Let's spend an unforgettable and active day in the marvelous Danube bend with hiking and canoeing.

After picking you up with our van at an agreed point in Budapest, we start our one hour drive to the starting point of our day that is a little romantic town in the Danube bend called Nagymaros.

We climb up to a scenic lookout tower (Julianus-kilátó), where you can admire the stunning panorama to the Danube bend where we will paddle later the day. We search for animal traces, get familiar with the tree species that live on the mountain.

After fulfilling our soul with the the touch of nature and walking 8 km in the calm and green forest we arrive down to the riverside and prepare for our second activity of the day that is canoeing in the Danube river bend.

After a short lesson about safety, technique, rules and ethics on the river we jump into our boats set sail on the beautiful river.

The paddling is easy as we go with the river and the Danube is quite calm and easy river to handle.
During our canoe ride we admire the beautiful mountains around us and we can also see the famous castle of Visegrád from the river.

If the weather is fine, we stop by at a nice, sandy beach (Kisoroszi szigetcsúcs) and have an afternoon pic nick. We finish our day next to a beer or a refreshing soft drink in a hippie bar on the river bank..
