Österreich – Magyarország – Slovensko
25/06/2022
One of the best things about Europe is the proximity of different interesting places and cultures. And the lack of border controls makes roaming between them fast and easy.
So when I was in Vienna in June and wanted to do a daytrip together with Andreas, a friend from uni, we figured visiting the “Dreiländereck” (or “Three-Country-Corner”) between Austria, Hungary and Slovakia would be an exciting pastime.
So a quick car ride later we arrived at the border crossing of the three countries.
We spent about 15 minutes at the crossing and even took some drone shots, but then figured we wanted to explore a little further. So instead of taking the road back, we continued along an agriculture / service road.
The road took us past many acres of fields and we took some brilliant videos that look like out of a car commercial, so I really recommend you watch the video of it on YouTube here.
Our next stop was an old war bunker used to defend against Germany/Austria during WW II at the outskirts of Bratislava. On our way there we came past Chikago.
Once at the bunker, we were the only visitors and a volunteer showed us around.
Next up we drove over to Bratislava to check out the most interesting sights. However, we did not stop too often but rather drove through the city to get some impressions.
Next up we drove back across the border to Austria. We wanted to walk up a hill nearby for a surround view.
As we were quite hungry from the day of exploring, it was time for some dinner at a typical Austrian restaurant. So typical in fact, that we first had to get cash at an ATM in the village nearby because they did not accept card. Andreas and I both had a Schnitzel.
After dinner we returned home happy with the discoveries of the day – and an SD card full of pictures and videos.
Servus!
