From June 24 to 12 August, the Hungarian capital will celebrate the birthday of the most famous bridge of the country of the Hungarian Count István Széchenyi, Lanjhid. The celebration will take place only on weekends, because for its sake the bridge is blocked for transportation, and concerts with live music and dances are arranged on it. Also during the celebration it will be possible to taste the traditional cuisine
The chain bridge is a symbol of Budapest, and in addition the second stone bridge across the Danube all along the river . Previously, a pontoon bridge was erected in its place . According to the legend , in 1820, in the midst of winter, Count Istvan Sechenia wanted to cross the Danube to the other side, but no one dared to transport it until one boatman, who agreed .After that, the Earl decided to give his annual income for the construction of the bridge . The project already existed already since the 1700s, the model for which was the Charles Bridge in Prague . However, Count Szczecheni saw in England the chain bridge of William Clarke and asked to develop a new project . The bridge was built on it in 1849 .
