Danube Bend
Between Esztergom and Szentendre is a winding section of the Danube, surrounded by forests and the Visegrád Mountains. The walking trails and other recreational opportunities have made this a popular tourist area.
Zebegeny, Hungary
Zebegény lies 8km (5mi.) west of Nagymaros, also on the left bank of the Danube, where the river first flows south and then makes a bend in a northeast direction. This village has also been discovered by artists. On the hillside, at Bartóky utca 7, István Szöny (1894-1960), an important representative of modern Hungarian painting, lived. In his house a museum is dedicated to his life and works.
