🚗 Car: Offers flexibility to choose various launch spots along the river.
🚆 Train: Take a train to Hegyeshalom station, then a taxi to Rajka (2.4 km from the river). Rusovce station is 2.0 km from the canal.

📏 A suggested inflatable route covers 30 km in 5 hours, from Rajka to Halászi (pension) and then to Kimle.
🚧 Čunovo Dam: As of July 2022, portage facilities were being renewed, with planned improvements including information boards, communication equipment, bristles to guide water, and a continuous 1.8m wide path with ramps for easy boat transport.
🚨 Always be aware of strong currents, especially near sluices and dams.
🚢 Maintain a safe distance of at least 20 meters from passing ships on the main Danube.
