Only those who can handle it should come!

Start heading upstream but stay close to the right bank (the Buda side) until you reach Szentendre Island! There, cross the shipping lane in front of the marina pontoons and switch to the left bank (the Szentendre Island side)!

Here, paddle under the Megyeri Bridge and stay on this side until the Szentendre free beach! It’s better if you paddle near the right bank again on the water that speeds up by the ford. It is hard work to get past the boat station and the marina, but after that, it’s good to paddle on this side until Tahitótfalu.

Under the Tildy Zoltán Bridge, however, head again to the left bank, the island side. Above the bridge, at the bend, it’s ideal to paddle up the small side arm behind the island – of course, only if there is enough water in it. You will see this: if water flows, then you can get out of this branch above the entrance shoal. There, cross the shipping lane again, and paddle up along or between the islands on the right bank, depending on water level and your mood, and stay on this side until the Dunabogdány beach!

Due to the strong current, it’s advisable to switch sides again before that and paddle along the left bank to the island tip. Where the shore is already gravelly, if you land, you will find good camping spots on both sides of the island tip. From here downwards in the Vác branch, the path is easy. Above Vác you'll find the first groynes. They regularly appear until Göd; avoid all of them with at least a 50 m side distance! Pay attention to boat traffic while paddling! The Megyeri Bridge signals the approach of the route’s end. From here, it’s 2,300 m to the lower tip of Szentendre Island, from where you can already see the goal.
