The Danube Bend ( Dunakanyar in Hungarian ) is a section of the Danube near Vác , a good 30 kilometers north of Budapest , in northern Hungary .

The river makes its way here with an almost right-angled bend through the Visegrad Mountains . In addition to this scenic attraction, the heavily frequented holiday resorts Esztergom , Visegrád or Szentendre , which line the river in this section, are also of cultural interest. The riverside zones and river islands are particularly popular with summer visitors and water sports enthusiasts .
