SkyBridge 721, which opened last week and is about 3 hours from Prague, stretches 721 meters and hangs 95 meters above the valley below. Visitors cross a narrow, breathtaking bridge from one mountain range to another, supported by six main ropes and 60 wind ropes.

In total, the construction of the bridge took two years.

“Sky Bridge 721 is not just a structure. It's a bridge that conveys "the idea of ​​time," the attraction's website says. — Crossing the bridge over the majestic valley of the Mlyn Stream gives all visitors a unique opportunity to learn about the local countryside and history through an educational trail called the Bridge of Time.

To get to the bridge itself, visitors can either take the chairlift up to the entrance, or walk or bike along the almost 4 km trail. Bridge tickets must be purchased in advance online.

In addition to the gravity-defying height, the bridge will feature an interactive game piecing together the area's history from 1938 to 2021. The game will include a video narrated by a 16-year-old boy, as well as an interactive display that can be viewed via a smartphone app.

The entire tour takes about an hour and a half.
