Raab, Rabatz and Moson-Danube near Györ - beautiful
- Written by Portal Editor
The term "City of Rivers", as the Hungarian city of Györ is sometimes called, caused some ideas / trouble in our mind, because when we were looking for a parking, we got the first view to one of the rivers, which was diked very high.
Its waters seemed to be strongly interspersed with sediments, which was followed by the almost brown color of the water, not without reason the ancient name of today's Raab was Arrabo, which means "the brown one". That means, Raab river is not only recently interspersed with sediments, which can be seen quite clearly at the confluence with the Rabatz.
The Springs of Raab river
We crossed the Raab on a modern road bridge, then saw the confluence of Raab and Rabatz a little downstream, with a huge arched bridge behind it, which was our first destination. The idyllic promenade is lined with shady trees, a small theater seemed to be scheduled for events, we also found another bike rental station. Next to the carriageway of the arch bridge is a bike path that led to the suburb of Györ. We also noticed a three-arm water spray system for pedestrians right at the beginning of the bridge, which sprayed cooling wet on the passers-by. More of these stations were in the city center.
Modern parking garage with a futuristic driveway
An old paddle steamer, now functioning as a museum and restaurant, formed an imposing photo panorama, then there was a huge mirror contributing to the reflection of large parts of the city as a mirror image. It's great what was done on facilities and options for the citizens and visitors of the city of Györ.
A little further downstream, Rab and Rabatz then meet the Moson Danube, also known as the Small Danube. The Moson-Danube is a tributary of the Danube in Hungary, which branches off at the Slovakian weir Čunovo to the south of the Danube, it runs meandering and almost completely natural to Győr, where the Raab flows. A paradise for nature lovers and hikers. The Moson-Danube itself flows back into the main river northeast of Győr.
