Nagymaros
Nagymaros is perhaps the most beautifully situated and panoramic small town in the country. It is located in the Danube bend, 52 km from Budapest, on the left bank of the Danube, in the valleys running from the Börzsöny, on the hills and on the banks of the Danube. The surroundings of Nagymaros are rich in natural beauty and cultural and historical monuments.
