The “Gate of Freedom” memorial is located at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers near Bratislava and commemorates the former Czechoslovak border with Austria, the so-called Iron Curtain.

This is where the March flows into the Danube. During the communist era in Eastern Europe, many people tried to escape to freedom here and were shot. A memorial site.
