<p>Wer an die Eisenbahn rund um den Balaton denkt, hat vermutlich eher die großen Badezüge, volle Bahnsteige und den Blick auf den See vor Augen. Für Eisenbahnfreunde gehört aber noch etwas anderes dazu, undzwar dass unverwechselbare Knattern der M41, die über Jahrzehnte zum Alltag am ungarischen Feriensee gehörten.<br />
<br />
Beim Balatoni Retró Hétvége im Juli 2025 war dieser Klang noch einmal besonders präsent. In Tapolca warteten mit M41 2103 „Kishármas“ und M41 2112 gleich zwei dieser Maschinen auf ihren Einsatz. Gemeinsam übernahmen sie den IC „Kék Hullám“ nach Budapest-Déli und sorgten bei der Ausfahrt aus Tapolca für eine Augenweide an Lok- und Wagenbespannung.<br />
<br />
Dabei war der Retro-Gedanke nicht auf eine Museumsveranstaltung beschränkt. Die historischen Fahrzeuge wurden in den normalen Reiseverkehr eingebunden und brachten damit genau das zurück, was früher alltäglich war, eine Diesellokomotive vor einem Reisezug, unterwegs entlang des Nordufers.<br />
<br />
Die M41 war seit den 1970er-Jahren auf solchen Strecken zu Hause. Gebaut bei Ganz-MÁVAG in Budapest, wurde sie zum Arbeitstier auf den nicht elektrifizierten Linien der MÁV. Ihr charakteristischer Motorlauf brachte ihr den Spitznamen Csörgő, also „Rassel“, ein. Für viele Eisenbahnfans ist genau dieser Sound bis heute untrennbar mit der ungarischen Eisenbahn verbunden.<br />
<br />
Doch die Strecke selbst steht inzwischen vor einem neuen Kapitel. Der Abschnitt Balatonfüred–Tapolca–Keszthely soll elektrifiziert und umfassend modernisiert werden. Damit wird sich auch das Bild der Eisenbahn am Nordufer verändern. Noch sind die Pläne nicht umgesetzt, aber irgendwann werden die roten Csörgők hier tatsächlich nur noch auf historischen Aufnahmen oder unter der Strippe zu sehen sein.</p>

<p>En<br />
The Chain Bridge (Széchenyi lánchíd) is the oldest and most famous suspension bridge in Budapest, as well as one of Hungary's most iconic landmarks. Opened in 1849, it spans the Danube River, directly connecting the two historical parts of the city: Buda, on the hilly western bank, and Pest, on the flat eastern bank.<br />
Architecturally, the bridge is distinguished by its elegant and imposing spans supported by massive iron chains anchored to two majestic piers shaped like triumphal arches. The entrances on both sides are guarded by four famous stone lion sculptures, created by sculptor János Marschalkó. At night, the bridge is illuminated, highlighting its majestic structure in the Danube cityscape.<br />

Il Ponte delle Catene (Széchenyi lánchíd) è il più antico e famoso ponte sospeso di Budapest, oltre a essere uno dei simboli più iconici dell'Ungheria. Inaugurato nel 1849, attraversa il fiume Danubio collegando direttamente le due parti storiche della città: Buda, sulla riva occidentale dominata dalle colline, e Pest, sulla riva orientale pianeggiante.<br />
Dal punto di vista architettonico, il ponte si distingue per le sue eleganti ed imponenti campate sostenute da possenti catene in ferro ancorate a due maestosi piloni a forma di arco di trionfo. Gli ingressi su entrambi i lati sono sorvegliati da quattro celebri sculture di leoni in pietra, realizzate dallo scultore János Marschalkó. Di notte, il ponte viene illuminato valorizzando la sua maestosa struttura nel panorama urbano del Danubio.</p>
