Legend.
According to urban legend, the hussar Istvan Szechenyi hurried to Austria for his father's funeral.
However, an ice drift on the river prevented him from crossing the Danube and delayed him for a week.
Young Szé chenyi was late for the funeral.
Then he vowed to build a bridge in Hungary that would connect the two banks of the Danube.
To what extent this legend is true, no one knows.
It is only known that it was Count Szechenyi who was the initiator and main lobbyist for the construction of the first bridge across the Danube in Hungary.
The bridge is very beautiful.
Vehicles drive along it, and you can also walk on foot.
We drove along it to Bratislava, and then back.

From the bridge there is a beautiful view of the city, the Danube River.
The bridge is especially beautiful in the evening when the lanterns are lit.
