The “Sky Bridge 721” suspension bridge, which opened in May 2022, is currently the longest self-supporting pedestrian suspension bridge in the world. It is located in the Glatzer Snow Mountains in the Czech Republic near the vacation resort of Dolní Morava not far from the Polish border. The suspension bridge spans the Mill Valley (Mlýnské údolí) and offers breathtaking views of the Pardubice region and the Morava Valley.
