Chain Bridge in Budapest

Hungary, September 2008

Széchenyi Lánchíd is the Hungarian name for the Chain Bridge. In 1849 it was the first bridge in Budapest crossing the Danube River.

We started our last big journey with walking along the Donauradweg (Danube Bike Trail) from Passau (Germany) to Budapest. In Budapest we bought bikes and followed the Danube to the Black Sea. Quite a different Europaen experience. A fantastic slow travel. A wonderful river.

Francisca with her Vienna Bridges over Danube gave me the idea for this post.
