The minisheet shows a map with the course of the Danube River, where the bridges that cross it in Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary and northern Serbia are indicated. Represented are the Buda Castle (Hungarian: Budavári Palota), built in 1265, renovated in the 18th century and rebuilt after WW2; and the 378.3 m (1,241 ft) Elisabeth Bridge (Hungarian: Erzsébet híd) built between 1961 and 1964 to replace the original eclectic flamboyant style bridge, built between 1897 and 1903 and subsequently destroyed during the WW2.
