The “transbordér” is a suspension footbridge over the Nisa River with a hand drive, which was opened after the floods in October 2010. The passengers alone move the cabin by pulling a rope. The pulley is constructed in such a way that the passengers do not have to use too much strength. The transporter bridge project comes from the architect Martin Rajniš. The facility itself is also intended as a tourist attraction. Reportedly it is the first and only transporter bridge in the Czech Republic.
