Ráckeve
Ráckeve is a multicultural Danube-island town shaped by Serbian migration, Orthodox and Western Christian institutions, Savoy’s Baroque estate, river trade, markets, bridges and mills. The route follows the old civic core and then returns repeatedly to the Ráckeve–Soroksár Danube, the resource that made the town possible.
