                Árpád Bridge - Árpád Híd


Here's what Wikipedia tells us about:

Árpád Bridge or Árpád híd is a bridge in Budapest, Hungary, connecting Buda and Pest across the Danube.

It is the northernmost public bridge of the capital and the longest bridge in Hungary, spanning about 2 km with the sections leading up to the bridge, and 928 m without them.

It is 35.3 m wide.

Its Buda end is Szentlélek tér (near the Main Square of Óbuda, Vasarely and Kassák Museums).

Margaret Island is available from the bridge from an embranchment, and the bridge overlooks Óbuda Island as well (see Sziget Festival).

Its construction was started in 1939 by the plans of János Kossalka, but due to World War II, the work ended only in 1950, directed by Károly Széchy and Pál Sávoly.

Start:

At the given header-coordinates you will find a black memorial tablet. There is much information on it.

Look for the line before the last. On it's end you will find a word starting with 'h'.
Take the letters of that word and convert them to numbers using the following scheme:
A=1, B=2, C=3,...
Add all the numbers together to get 'D'.

On the tablet you will also find some arabic numbers. Look for the one with the highest value.
Take this number and calculate it's digit sum. This digit sum is called 'E'.
