The Visegrád Circular Cruise, one of Mahart PassNave’s most popular routes launched in recent years, traces its origins back to the launch of the Danube Bend Circular Cruise. But why has this cruise proved so popular with the public?
The answer can essentially be summarised very simply in two points: the circular service allows us to discover the most beautiful parts of the Danube’s Hungarian branches, whilst at the same time we can alight wherever we please and then simply continue our journey on one of the next services, all with a single ticket. This is the Danube Bend circular service. Within this option, we have a choice of four routes: the Vác, Esztergom, Szentendre and Visegrád circular services.
Just reading about the route of the Visegrád circular tour conjures up a thousand images in our imagination: Visegrád–Nagymaros–Zebegény–Dömös–Nagymaros–Visegrád. With a day ticket, we can wander around these legendary towns and their surroundings to our heart’s content all day long. Of course, one day isn’t enough to explore all four places, but you can choose which one to visit that day – the one where you’ll spend most of your time – and it’s worth bearing in mind that, during the season, there’s nothing to stop you from making return visits so that you have time and attention for everything. After all, despite their tiny size, these small towns and villages have been home to defining moments and key figures in our culture over the past many centuries.
This is the world of István Szőnyi, Lajos Áprily and Kálmán Kittenberger – a legacy bequeathed to their descendants by King Béla IV, King Charles I and Mátyás Hunyadi. It is our duty, then, to preserve it in a fitting manner and to keep their memory alive for future generations who, time and again, follow in their footsteps.
