Lake Naplás is the largest lake in Budapest. The artificial lake, surrounded by a nature reserve including a forest and a moorland, can be found on the Pest side, on the edge of district 16. Besides car or public transportation, the area can be reached from the city by bike on an amazing quality bike lane along the Szilas Stream!

Sadly, in line with the new Covid restrictions, all our guided walks are cancelled until the situation gets better. With the museums, cafés and cultural spaced closed, it seems there is nowhere to go, but don't forget that Budapest has lots of green to offer. Yesterday we went for an easy 3km hike around Szépjuhászné following the yellow trail. On the way we stopped by two lookout points and a cave where a monk used to live in the 15th century. Szépjuhászné can be accessed by public transport (bus 22A) and the Children's Railway stops there too. Don't let the weather put you off, spend as much time outdoors as you can, as long as you still can!
