The viaduct was built between 1883 and 1884 for the Budapest - Salzburg railway line.
The structure gained worldwide fame through the terrorist attack on September 13, 1931.
The incident: The attacker Szilveszter Matuska blew up the tracks as the Budapest-Vienna night express train was crossing the viaduct.
Consequences: The locomotive and six carriages plunged 26 meters deep into the abyss. 22 people lost their lives, 17 were seriously injured.
