Severe drought observed in Hungary’s capital, Budapest, has lowered the water level in the Danube River to a critical limit, bringing to light the remains of a historical structure that had remained at the bottom of the river and sea for many years.
Sea-news.az reports that as a result of the decrease in river water, fragments of a temporary bridge dating back to World War II have begun to appear. Dubbed the “ghost bridge” by locals and tourists, this construction was built in the final months of the war to ensure strategic transport and freight shipments.
Experts state that such an anomalous scenery, which directly affects river navigation and the hydrographic situation, is observed only during long-term and severe droughts.
Currently, in the area where sailors, history, and photography enthusiasts are flocking, scientists are documenting the actual condition of the remains, while ecologists assess the sharp drop in water levels in freshwater basins as another manifestation of global climate change.
