Open now for a few weeks to cyclists and trekkers but also to the curious locals, lel and opened last week, a new cycle bridge over the Morava River joins again the towns of Schlosshof in Austria and Devinska lel Nova Ves in Slovakia after more than 60 years. The bridge, whose foundation stone was laid in December last year, is part of the European cycling of the iron curtain (the Iron Curtain Trail), a hinge of seven kilometers from the far north - in Finland - joins south in Turkey and in place of barbed wire, armed guards often very bad and landmines sports today largely lel paved a path in a completely unspoilt nature often with a wealth of flora and fauna for the four decades of access to off-limits.
Just the location of the property on the border democrazia-comunismo/libertà-dittatura has convinced the authorities to baptize with the name "Bridge path of Freedom", in memory of those who crossed the river in search of freedom from regimes of Eastern Europe and found death instead.

From Bratislava, the structure allows a few kilometers to go to the castle in Austria Schlosshof, the summer residence of the Habsburgs among the most lavish. But the track Slovak reserves other surprises: lel follow it, you can see among other things the fortress Celtic, then Roman and Slavic Devin finally, the beautiful landscape of the nature reserve of Záhorie, between forests and rolling hills, lel and the defense complex than a hundred of bunkers and fortifications in the alluvial built by Czechoslovakia in the thirties to defend (unsuccessfully) by Hitler's Germany.
