Flood didn't stop Running Tours Budapest

In June, our beloved river, the Danube in Budapest decided to push its limits.

The heavy spring rains especially in Germany and Austria caused the greatest flood of the century in Central-Europe.

The water limit in Budapest broke records, the Danube obscured buildings, piers, half of the Margaret island, it was even awashing the the stairs of the Parlament!

 

Not only the locals were concerned and curious about the river's wrecking work, but many tourists watched the growing river with worry and admiration at the same time.

 

 

Some parts of the city were unaccessible, but we wanted to show our ethusiastic tourists the floody Budapest. The Riverbank Tour was a perfect sightseeing activity for that purpose! We ran along the Danube and admired the beautiful vistas of Budapest. The sunset was breathtaking: there was water and water everywhere and the setting sun reflected on the Danube...We even saw military helicopters making sure the level of the water is under control.

 

So did the flood stop us from discovering Budapest? No, not at all! We put on our trainers and found the safe little paths between the closed areas.

 

These running tours during the flood remain memorable for us for sure. We got to see our city and the Danube from a different perspective as the river looked so relaxed without all the heavy water transportation which usually takes place there. We also had the chance to run along the empty wharf and enjoy the refreshing company of the runners and bikers without all the noisy cars...
