The world’s largest suspension bridge has opened to travellers in the Czech Republic. The bridge, which had been under construction for nearly two years, was officially opened. Sky Bridge 721 is the name given to it. The promenade promises both beautiful views of the cloud-shrouded Jesenky mountains and an exhilarating, but slightly dangerous experience.

• Visitors visiting the bridge will have to walk one way only. They will step onto a paved pathway in a woodland after exiting the other side, where they will learn about Czech history.
• The 1.2-metre-wide bridge, according to the holiday resort where this bridge is located, is open to children of all ages and heights, but is not ideal for individuals using pushchairs or wheelchairs.
• The suspension bridge cost 200 million crowns, or $8.4 million, according to local media sources.
• The Czech Republic Sky Bridge is 154 metres longer than Nepal’s Baglung Parbat Footbridge, which is the world’s longest suspension footbridge.
