Pornóapáti

Pornóapáti is a village in Vas county, Hungary, situated on the river Pinka and Hungary's border with Austria.

During the summer and autumn of 1989, Pornóapáti was a popular transit point for refugees fleeing the socialist eastern European countries, especially East Germany. Its location, far from official border crossing stations and surrounded on three sides by Austria made it a practical pedestrian escape route. Many automobiles were abandoned in the woods to the northeast.
