Sculpted by Janos Marschalko there are two massive stone lion's guarding the bridgehead of Chain Bridge. It is said that Janos was "heartbroken" because while sculpting the lions he forgot to give them tongues, so he drowned himself in the river. In all fairness to Janos, he did give the lion's tongues but you have to really get close to see them...

Address: Above the Danube
Directions: Just follow the Danube. You'll surely find them. :-) From North to South: Northern Railway Connector, Arpad, Margharet, Szechenyi Chain, Elisabeth, Liberty, Petofi, Lagymanyosi, S Railway Connector
