Description The Brücke von Andau is a small bridge over the Einserkanal/Hansági-főcsatorna, a small river which forms part of the border between Austria and Hungary. It is located near to the village of Andau. With the turmoils in summer 1956, more and more Hungarians fled to the west over the border to Austria.
