		</div><p>The longest pedestrian suspension bridge of its kind has opened at a mountain resort in the Czech Republic.</p>
<p>The 2,365-foot-long bridge is built at an altitude of more than 3,610ft above sea level.</p>
<p>It connects two mountain ridges and hangs up to 312ft above the valley below.</p>
<p>Sky Bridge 721, as it is known, is located in the north-east of the country in the Kralicky Sneznik mountain range near the border with Poland, some 125 miles east of Prague.</p>
<p>The bridge offers unusual views for visitors who have a head for heights.</p>
<p>Up to 500 people will be allowed on the bridge at once, although that number will be halved for the first two weeks following Friday’s opening.</p>
<p>The bridge will be closed for safety reasons if winds reach 84mph.</p>
<p>Construction took two years and cost 200 million Czech crowns (£6.9 million).</p>
<p>Critics say the bridge is too big for the surrounding environment, while others argue it will attract too many tourists to the town, which has a population of less than 500.</p>
<p>CzechTourism believes the bridge could attract tourists from all around the globe.</p>
<p>Theo Scheepens, 59, from the Netherlands, was one of the first.</p>
<p>“Marvellous, impressive; the bridge moves so you think something is going to happen,” he said.</p>
<p>“I wonder what is going to happen when it is windy. It is terrific weather, we are very blessed.”</p>
<p>The previous longest such bridge is in Arouca, Portugal, and is 1,693 feet long.</p>
