The walk

The Duna-parti korzó runs along the Vác riverbank, opposite Szentendre Island, and is one of the longest riverside promenades in the country, with a cycle path along its whole length that is part of the EuroVelo 6. There is a sculpture park, playgrounds and benches, and at one end remain parts of the castle wall and the statue of King Géza I.
