Dunakiliti-Tejfalusziget

The Old Danube, Mosoni-Danube, and winding side channels shape the landscape of Dunakiliti. The Kisrévi-Duna-ág borders the built-up area; the side channels within the municipality are used, among other things, for canoe trips and fishing. Since March 2018, Dunakiliti has been a Szigetköz Nature Park community.

Cultural attractions include the Neo-Gothic Szent-Kereszt-Felmagasztalása-Templom, the Falumúzeum, and the Batthyány-Kastély. A visitor center is dedicated to the Dunakiliti barrage and other technical facilities. In Tejfalusziget, a district of Dunakiliti, construction of the Szent-Mihály Chapel began in 1935 as a family chapel.

If you want to spend time by the water, there are several ways to do so: the Kisrévi-Duna-ág is used for recreation by the water as well as for angling and fishing. The Danube side channels within the municipality are also suitable for canoe trips and angling. These activities offer different ways to enjoy the area—a trip on the water or time on the shore—without requiring a particular route.

The Kiserdei-Sétány introduces visitors to the flora and fauna of Szigetköz. For a hike, the Fenékküszöb tour is another specific option: it is 3.7 km long and is offered as a family activity and a hike. The distance can help you decide whether to include this tour in your plans; no information about walking time or trail conditions is implied.

The Pintér Bridge and its surroundings are also presented as a pedestrian bridge in a scenic natural setting. If you prefer walking or hiking, Dunakiliti offers opportunities to do so in quiet, nature-rich surroundings. The options range from canoe trips and fishing in the side channels to walks and hikes in natural surroundings.

The Szent-Kereszt-Felmagasztalása-Templom in Dunakiliti is Neo-Gothic in style. Its interior features frescoes as well as pointed-arch colored and rose-tinted stained-glass windows. In front of the church stands the Millennium Oak, planted in 1896; in summer, it provides shade for visitors resting there.

The Falumúzeum focuses on rural village life in the past. On display are tools accompanied by written explanations. The Batthyány-Kastély adds another historical focus: it was built between 1858 and 1862 in the early Historicist style. The two places offer different ways to explore local history—the everyday life of the village and the architecture of a castle.

Construction of the Szent-Mihály Chapel in Tejfalusziget began in 1935 as a family chapel. Every year, Pálinkaház Szigetköz Lelke holds a pálinka festival with a competition for customers who have commissioned distillation. Alongside building and local history, a regional festival tradition and its competition are therefore among the possible themes of your trip.

The visitor center is located in the operating building of the Dunakiliti barrage. It was established as part of the Insula Magna project and handed over in fall 2023. Thematic maps and information panels present the exhibits; 1:100 scale models show the Dunakiliti barrage with its ship lock, as well as the power plant and ship lock at Bős. An interactive touchscreen visualization table and two interactive touchscreen kiosk tablets complete the exhibition.

The barrage is located 2 to 3 km outside the village, in its outlying area, and is recommended as a place worth visiting. A bridge over the unfinished barrage offers visitors an impressive view. The view from above the barrage and the models and information in the visitor center provide different perspectives on the technical facility.
