Tour info
The circular tour starts from Vadvíz Camping and returns here, but it passes through many exciting points along the way. The first part starts on a slow-flowing branch, where you can learn the basics of paddling against the current. Passing through the Szigeti-Danube branch, where the boat passes between willow and white willow groves, cormorants and ducks look for food around you. You will then arrive at the Szirtl Lakes, where an ecological corridor helps the fish to pass through, and then you can continue rowing in the wild Szirtl Branches.
During the tour, you cross the Szigeti-Danube branch, then continue along a narrow, wild branch, which gradually widens and then joins the faster-flowing Szigetelő branch. Here, along the coast, terns nest, and after a short rest, you can swim down in a strong current so that the others "die out" at the bottom of the reef. Finally, next to the Árpa Island, you will arrive at the scene of the Napoleon movie, and then you will return to the starting point when you arrive at the Flóri gate.
