📜 The last surviving Empire-style chain bridge in the Czech Republic.
🌉 A unique example of its kind in Europe, popular for walks, cycling, and photography.
Constructed between 1847 and 1848, this 157-meter long and 6-meter wide bridge was originally built over the Vltava river. It was later dismantled and re-erected over the Lužnice river near Stádlec in May 1975 to save it from the Orlík Reservoir. Its design features two double-curved chains passing through stone pylons, anchoring into masonry blocks, with a wooden deck connected by vertical rods.
