The Sky Bridge opened earlier this month in the Czech Republic and is claiming its title as the longest suspension walkway in the world, a record held previously by a similar design in Portugal<\/a>. Strung between two peaks of the\u00a0Kralicky Snezn\u00edk mountain<\/a>, the pedestrian path stretches an incredible 721 meters and reaches 95 meters above ground at its highest point. Two years in the making, the steel construction weighs 450 tons and relies on 66 ropes for support. For the fearless, height-loving adventurers wanting to take the nearly half-mile trek over the Ml\u00fdnsk\u00fd Stream valley, the\u00a0Doln\u00ed Morava<\/a>\u00a0resort is coordinating access and tours.

\u201cWe do not recommend entry for people who are afraid of heights with accompanying feelings of dizziness, shaking of the head, feelings of fainting, and inability to move,\u201d the Doln\u00ed Morava vacation resort, where the bridge is located, cautions in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why the bridge in the Czech Republic<\/a> will appeal to thrill seekers \u2014 and why the warning is necessary. The nearly 0.5-mile-long bridge, which opened last week, is expected to formally be declared the world\u2019s longest pedestrian suspension bridge.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, the bridge offers beautiful views of the surrounding valley, and the valley floor 300 feet below.<\/p>\n

\u201cGet ready for a unique moment,\u201d the resort explains. \u201cIt will take some courage to cross the bridge, but we guarantee a unique experience that you will never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s current longest pedestrian suspension bridge is the Baglung Parbat Footbridge, a 567-meter (1,860 feet) bridge that crosses the Kali Gandaki River in Nepal, according to Guinness World Records<\/a>. But that title is about to change hands.<\/p>\n

Sky Bridge 721 is aptly named because it stretches 721 meters (about 2,365 feet) between two mountains in the Jesen\u00edky mountains. That span means it\u2019s also longer than the 516 Arouca Bridge<\/a>, a 516-meter (1,693 feet) bridge that opened in Arouca, Portugal<\/a>, last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
