On May 26, 2018, on the Romanian side of the Great Kazan Strait, the commemorative plaque of Count István Széchenyi - who made this section of the Danube navigable - was inagurated. The plaque of the dimension of several square meters which is clearly visible from the river Danube, was placed on a rocky cliff, where the original Széchenyi plaque erected by the Hungarian Engineers 'and Architects' Association in 1885 had been placed, but it immersed in the water after the construction of the Iron Gate 1 Waterworks. With the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary the plaque in Hungarian, Romanian and English languages was restored by the Hungarian Naval Association. The 600 kg memorial plaque was installed on the cliff wall above the drifting water level at 3 meters high by mountain climbers from Odorheiu Secuiesc/Székelyudvarhely. At the event several Hungarian and Romanian state and local officials participated. The memorial plaque was blessed by István Csűry, Bishop of the Reformed Church District of Királyhágómellék, and József-Csaba Pál, the recently appointed bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Timisoara/Temesvár.
