Dolni Morava is a small but remarkable Czech town located just 15 kilometers from the Polish border, on the slopes of a mountain resort that has become one of the most ambitious tourist investments in Central Europe in recent years. It is a place where two masterpieces of modern engineering collide: Skywalk – a 55-meter observation tower suspending tourists at an altitude of 1116 meters above sea level, and Sky Bridge 721 – the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world, where travelers walk across 721 meters suspended 95 meters above the valley. Although Dolni Morava is technically in the Czech Republic, for the residents of Lower Silesia and especially the Kłodzko area, it is the closest elegant mountain resort – just 50 kilometers from Kłodzko and about 150 kilometers from Wrocław. It is a place where adventure meets modern technology, where panoramas stretching across the Śnieżnik Massif, the Karkonosze Mountains, the Orlické Mountains, and the Jeseníky Mountains are forever frozen in the memory of anyone who has stood there.
Skywalk – The Path in the Clouds: Closest to Heaven on the Slope of Slamnik
Construction Characteristics
Skywalk is not just an ordinary observation tower – it is a technically advanced, 55-meter wooden structure, which is climbed via a 710-meter spiral path.
Dimensions and Location:
Tower Height: 55 meters
Altitude: 1116 meters
Path Length: 710 meters
Location: Slope of Mount Slamnik, i.e., the 1232-meter peak in the Jeseníky range
Attractions Inside the Tower
Skywalk is more than just a tower – it’s a whole experience:
1. Spiral Walkway (710 meters)
The wooden, safe path winds around the tower in a spiral – travelers slowly climb to the top, admiring the changing views with each turn.
2. Viewing Points
On each of the several floors, there are viewing platforms where you can stop, rest, and enjoy the panorama.
3. “The Drop” – Net at the Top
At the very top (at a height of about 50 meters) there is a dense net called “The Drop.”
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4
Standing on this net, tourists can literally see what is under their feet – it acts like a transparent floor, offering an amazing experience.
4. “Sleeve” – Network Attraction
This is a dense network built between the individual floors of the tower, which you have to go through to get from one level to another.
For those who want to retreat without climbing to the top, this is a point where they can stop and return.
5. 100-Meter Slide
For the more adventurous, the tower has a 100-meter-long slide installed, with windows and several sloping turns.
The sliding speed can be controlled, and the experience is definitely full of adrenaline.
Accessibility for Disabled People
The tower is accessible to wheelchair users – making it one of the few attractions of its kind that avoids discrimination.
