After Walking To The Top Of A Mountain,

in the Czech Republic,


you can go a little higher on the Fránek Architects Skywalk, and better still you have a choice of how to get down to earth, walk back down, a bit lame, or travel down in a 300 foot long slide, great fun, or the third option jump, not recommended,

but before retuning to earth the brave, foolhardy or slightly insane, (pick one), can throw themselves on some wire netting and look down at the view, 


being afraid of heights I think I would stay on the ground, the skywalk is at Dolni Morava, Fránek comments, 'it offers an endless amount of views, situations and moments where an indiscernible human being enters the depth and emerges on the outskirts of this natural structure, I don’t know of any other timber construction with steel elements of a similar size and purpose, there are constructions of a similar size but ours takes on an abstract form that suggests the flight of a nocturnal butterfly whose path is seemingly chaotic'.
