It is Template:Convert long; its width after Template:Convert sections of bifurcation and rejoining (confluence) varies from Template:Convert. It has an area of Template:Convert and its population is 165,000.[1]
The isle extends south from Budapest; its northern point or section is Csepel – Budapest's District XXI. Most of the island is accessible from Budapest by the suburban railway. Towns include Ráckeve, Szigetszentmiklós, Szigethalom and Tököl.
Csepel island was the first centre of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (Template:Langx: "conquest of the homeland"), being the early homestead of Árpád's tribe. The island is named after Árpád's horse groom, Csepel.
It features Hungary's tallest structure, Lakihegy Tower, a Template:Convert radio mast used today intermittently for power network control purposes.[2][3]
