Excursions from Dunasziget - 1.

Parking is available at the starting point of the walk (see the map).

The completely gutted fighter jet can be seen in a workshop yard, along with several military vehicles. The owner is happy to allow a close look. The aircraft also appears on the Google Earth satellite image.

In 2017, the Biodiversity Observation Station was unfortunately in very poor condition. The glass windows were cracked, and the booth was almost completely filled with gravel. Walking on the plank leading there was dangerous. In 2024, the observation station was fully renovated, but the little house was locked with a padlock. See:

On another occasion, we wanted to see the Denkpal fish ladder, but due to bad weather, we only reached the boat lift bridge and then had to turn back. The photo of the bridge is also included on the above map, at the eastern tip of Nagysziget (east of the observation station).

In 2024, the eco-park visitor center was completed in Dunasziget, but it can only be visited in groups by prior arrangement (see photo 13).

However, it is worth visiting the Dodó Game Farm located in Dunaremete with children:
