Csepel Island, River island on the Danube, Hungary

Csepel Island stretches for 48 kilometers along the Danube River, with its northern section forming part of Budapest's District XXI.

The island served as the initial center for Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin and received its name from Arpad's horse groom.

The island's towns maintain Hungarian traditions through seasonal festivals that celebrate regional music, food specialties, and local crafts.

Transportation to the island operates through the suburban railway system from Budapest, while ferries connect the southern part to mainland Pest.

The Lakihegy Tower stands as Hungary's tallest structure at 314 meters, functioning as a critical power network control facility.
