Magyar Közlöny published a new government regulation. It claims that 70 settlements belong to the highlighted tourism unit of the Danube Bend. The government is planning a series of renewals costing 229 million euros, which will be financed by Hungarian funds, according to Turizmus.com.

Danube Bend is the collective name of the area in Northern Hungary near the city of Visegrad, where the river takes a huge curve towards the east. It lies between the Transdanubian Mountains and the North Hungarian Mountains. The government has determined which settlements belong to this highlighted tourism unit.
