Kolonádový most (page 19 of 19)

Take a stroll across the relatively recently built Kolonádový most bridge in Dolný Kubín, whose history dates back to 1949, when it replaced the old, disfunctional bridge. You can thus easily walk through Dolný Kubín, whether to the town center or to the Veľký Bysterec borough. If you come with your little ones, do not forget to prepare a piece of bread to feed the ducks. Does this idea tempt you?

This 120-meter-long wooden unique structure is probably among the most famous monuments of Dolný Kubín. The unusual nature of this technical monument lies in the fact that the bridge is almost entirely made of wood. Only the foundations supporting the bridge are made of concrete. The roof of the bridge is covered with shingles.

The wooden covered colonnade bridge is built across the Orava river. You can reach the old town area, or head to the Veľký Bysterec borough, near which is Námestie SNP square with a cultural house along with a sundial. During your walk, you can buy small items thanks to the built-in small kiosks. In the immediate vicinity, there is also a market.

You certainly will not find such a bridge just anywhere! Except for France, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, it is not found anywhere else in Europe. An interesting fact is also that the bridge as such was used in creating the town's logo. During the evening, the bridge is very well lit. You can use this not only for photography, but also for a romantic walk.

On regular days, approximately 4,000 people cross the bridge, which is really quite a lot.
