Szoborpark (simply translated as a “sculpture park” in Hungarian) is a triangular picnic table, purportedly spanning across 3 countries, where a Hungarian, an Austrian and a Slovak can all eat and converse without ever leaving the comfort of their home nations.

Nevertheless, the exact point where the three countries actually meet is marked by a small obelisk, whose each of its three sides faces its respective country, bearing the first letter of the state’s native name.

Interestingly, despite being situated more than 20 kilometers from the center of the Slovak capital, Bratislava firmly claims that it is the only capital city in the world which can boast its own tripoint. To get to the somewhat remote location, you can either take a twenty-minute taxi ride from Central Bratislava, or alternatively, opt for a public bus that drops passengers about 2 kilometers from the actual tripoint.

As Hungary and Slovakia were admitted to the European Union as well as to the Schengen Zone, their tripoint border with Austria, one of 176 international tripoints, became a conspicuous symbol of Europe’s peace and prosperity at the post-communist era. To mark the tripoint’s rebirth, several artists from all over the world were invited to leave their mark, erecting a series of 12 sculptures at the border, all of which feature a triangular element, reflecting the unbreakable friendship between the three nations.

Among the most inspiring art installations of the aptly named Szoborpark.
