There’s unadulterated nature north and east of Esztergom at the Duna-Ipoly National Park, maybe the most biodiverse natural environment in Hungary.

The park encompasses over 60,000 hectares on both sides of the Danube.

Certain plant species, like the fragrant leek and lenten rose, can only be found in this park.

A good first step if you want to get acquainted with this nature is the Eco-Tourism Centre at Esztergom-Kertváros on the western limits of the park and hardly ten kilometres from the centre of Esztergom.
