border, interesting place, bridge, commemorative place/plaque
Starting with the first turmoils in summer 1956, more and more Hungarians fled to the western world over the border to Austria. Even though it was just a small, wooden bridge over a small river, the Bridge at Andau was the escape route for about 70,000 Hungarian people during the Hungarian Revolution.
After crossing the border, fugitives had to walk a nine kilometer long road, the "Road To Freedom" (Fluchtstrasse), to the village Andau, where they were received with great hospitality by the inhabitants of Andau and the surrounding villages.
On November 21, 1956, the bridge was blasted by Soviet troops.
