    From Dunaszekcső, we follow the Danube south toward Mohács. Whenever possible, the trail keeps close to the river and its floodplain, though at times it follows quiet roads across open farmland. This stretch of the Danube formed the last natural line of defence before the Hungarian heartland. In 1526, Sultan Suleyman’s army advanced along this very route after the Battle of Mohács, where the fate of the medieval Hungarian Kingdom had been decided.

    As we approach Mohács, the landscape opens into the broad plain where the battle took place. Today, the town is peaceful, but its name remains inseparable from the turning point it represents — not only in Hungarian history, but in the long encounter between the Ottoman Empire and Europe.

    Here, at Mohács, the Roman frontier road, the medieval kingdom, and the Ottoman throughway all converge at one of the most symbolic places along the entire trail.
