Petition For A Floating River Pool in Budapest

Goodbye to the Viadukt Festival Budapest

Hey there, folks! Have you heard about the exciting petition to build a floating river pool in the Danube at Budapest? It’s been making waves in the community, and for good reason!

The Valyo Community, a group of passionate locals, has been working hard to make this dream a reality. They’ve even set up a “manual” water quality mark to show that the Danube is absolutely perfect for swimming. And if you needed any more proof, just take a look at the recent mayflower “blossoming” on the river – it’s a sight to behold!

Now, I know what you might be thinking. “Swimming in the Danube? Is that even safe?” Well, let me tell you, the Valyo Community has done their homework. They’ve been testing the water quality and it’s passed with flying colors. In fact, they’ve found that the Danube meets all the European Union and Hungarian regulations for swimming, except during flood season of course.

But why is this floating river pool such a big deal? Well, for starters, it’s been over 80 years since Budapest had its first river pool. Can you believe it? It’s about time we brought this tradition back to life! Not only will it provide a fun and refreshing way to beat the summer heat, but it’ll also bring people closer to the river and help them appreciate the Danube as a natural treasure.

And let’s not forget the health benefits. Swimming is a great way to stay active and keep your body and mind in tip-top shape. Plus, with the scorching summers we’ve been having lately, a dip in the Danube sounds like the perfect way to cool off.

So, what do you say? Are you ready to dive in and support this petition? Let’s make Budapest an “swimmable” city once again and create a special experience for locals and visitors alike. It’s time to bring back this centuries-old tradition and make a splash in the Danube!
