ST309 Dunaföldvár - Dunapataj

The stage from Dunaföldvár to Dunapataj follows the quiet left bank of the Danube, beginning beneath the medieval fortress of Dunaföldvár before heading south across the flat, fertile floodplain. The route passes by Solt, a settlement with deep roots in the river’s trading history, where old embankments and farmsteads reflect centuries of life shaped by the Danube’s shifting course. Continuing toward Harta, a village known for its strong Swabian heritage and traditional rural architecture, the landscape opens into wide agricultural fields and long, straight roads typical of the Great Hungarian Plain. The final stretch leads gently into Dunapataj, close to the shores of Lake Szelidi, where the riverine world gives way to a calm lakeside atmosphere. This stage blends riverside history, cultural traces of past communities, and the expansive openness of the southern Danube plain.
