ANDAUI BRIDGE
A little wooden bridge is the Andaui bridge above the Hanság main
sewer constituting the Austro-Hungarian state border. It became
famous after a 1956 revolution and the driving in of a war of
independence because the Hungarians' ten thousands escaped through
this bridge towards Austria. The bridge was the war of independence
and the symbol of the helpfulness by today. The bridge first the

huge refugee stream attained it on the time of the 1956 revolution
towards West the borders. Altogether more, than 200.000 Hungarians

APPROACH
From Kapuvár city, Kistölgyfapusztán cross we move towards
Miklósmajor. We bend onto the gritty-earthy road here. We observe
it the bicycle board mark, which one guides the row of our road.
The car N 47° 42,004 E 17° on 1,195 dots put it down, because a
pedestrian and cycle track drive until the bridge only already from
here. It is possible to drive up with a permit only! From the car
park cca. 3500 m the road, which appears a little bit long,, but we
may face the individuals of the numberless rare race living here in
the course of the road.
(With a car the border on an asphalt road which can be approached
stepping over from Jánossomorja the bridge, but I recommend this as
the hastier ones only, because he falls behind the Ferto-from
Hanság Nemzeti Park special living world!)
THE DESCRIPTION OF A CHEST
The chest (cca. 16x9 cm, fruit glass) in the forest beside the
bridge can be found, in the stem of a mossy, rotten trunk. Quite
soft the soil, we ask everybody to approach it carefully because of
this, not let kesser ösvény--, and let him take care of the nature!
Advisable closed clothing, concerned because a lot are the nettle
with a spring and in summer the mosquito!
WE DESIRE A GOOD HIKING!
