Mária Valéria Bridge, Steel bridge between Esztergom, Hungary and Štúrovo, Slovakia
The Mária Valéria Bridge spans 517.6 meters across the Danube River, rising 14 meters above the water with its steel truss construction system.
The bridge, designed by János Feketeházy, opened in 1895, suffered destruction in both world wars, and remained inactive until its reconstruction in 2001.
The structure bears the name of Archduchess Marie Valerie of Austria, representing a connection point between Hungarian and Slovak communities along the Danube.
Pedestrians and cyclists can cross the international border through this bridge without any checkpoints, as both nations belong to the Schengen Area.
The international border between Hungary and Slovakia runs precisely through the middle of this steel bridge spanning the Danube River.
