Discover Dunavarsány: Nature, Aviation and Culture

• The Kis-Duna near Dunavarsány includes a fen covering about 10 hectares; Domariba-sziget is also one of the area’s notable natural attractions.
• The KOMO–SKY 51-es BÁZIS offers tours for groups by prior arrangement. Each admission ticket includes the opportunity to board designated aircraft.
• The Trianon Emlékpark was inaugurated on 4 June 2008. The Remény statue was unveiled on 1 May 2004 in Nagyvarsány to mark Hungary’s accession to the European Union.
• The Dunavarsányi Olimpiai Központ is a five-hectare competitive and recreational sports centre with a direct water connection to the Ráckevei Duna-ág.

The fen by the Kis-Duna and Domariba-sziget are two named natural attractions in the area. The fen’s approximate size of 10 hectares is a useful guide to its scale. The island adds another clearly identified natural site to the selection.

If nature is a factor in your trip planning, you can use both names as starting points for your interests. The fen of about 10 hectares and Domariba-sziget represent two different natural sites: a fen and an island.

The collection includes notable types of Hungarian military aircraft. These include the MiG-15 and the MiG-23, which remained in service until the turn of the millennium, as well as airfield ground equipment and radar equipment. The focus is therefore not only on individual aircraft types, but also on equipment used in aviation operations.

Groups can take part in tours by prior arrangement. A knowledgeable guide explains the history of the equipment. Visitors can also board aircraft that are open for access; in addition, each admission ticket includes the opportunity to board designated aircraft. Boarding is therefore limited to aircraft that are open or specifically designated for this purpose.

If you are planning a group visit, book in advance. Also check the current conditions for tours and tickets before your visit, so your plans match the options available.

The Trianon Emlékpark commemorates the Treaty of Trianon, signed on 4 June 1920, and was inaugurated on 4 June 2008. The two dates help distinguish the reason for the park from the date it was inaugurated.

Another memorial is the Remény statue. The work was created by Monori Sebestyén and unveiled on 1 May 2004 in Nagyvarsány to mark Hungary’s accession to the European Union. Nagyvarsány is a locality within Dunavarsány. A life-size statue of Pope John XXIII also stands in front of the Catholic church in Dunavarsány.

These sites offer different points of reference for the destination’s cultural side: a park with a clearly stated commemorative purpose, a statue with a date and occasion, and a work of art in front of the Catholic church.

The Dunavarsányi Olimpiai Központ covers five hectares and is described as a competitive and recreational sports centre. It also has a direct water connection to the Ráckevei Duna-ág. This adds a sporting aspect to Dunavarsány’s nature, aviation and memorial themes. The centre’s size and water connection are concrete features to consider when comparing the different attractions.

This selection can help you organise your interests without treating the area’s different attractions as interchangeable. You can then search for suitable hotels in Dunavarsány.
