Magrit Island


Magrit Island is located between Buda and Pest and is basically a massive park. It holds a sports complex, alpine slide, ruins of a Franciscan church, an ornate water tower and Hotel. Path crisscross the island revealing benches and fields as well as a small zoo. The Island was known for its large rabbits which are now housed in the zoo, but Ian's favourite animal was the small brightly coloured ducks. Many people rent small bicycle driven carts to explore the island but we made it about 2/3 up the length of the island on foot before heading back. We stopped for a sausage and large pretzel from a street vendor for lunch.
