Molnár Island lies on the Ráckeve branch of the Danube, on the north-eastern side of Csepel. Although it’s a short journey
from the city centre, you soon forget about the hustle and bustle of the
capital while you spend time amid peaceful,
romantic nature. Dating back to
the 1800s, it takes its name from the many mills that once operated here – molnár means ‘miller’. Since the
mid-1960s, more and more holiday
properties have been set up in these bucolic surroundings, and with them, an
infrastructure. There’s plenty to do around here: you can hike, cycle, row, feed the ducks, go fishing or simply just sit on
a bench and admire the picturesque landscape.
Tip: Fairy Garden, a leisure park in the
southern part of the island is also worth a visit, especially with children.
