(CNN) — Walking from one mountain to another, suspended high above ground with only a vast valley yawning below, isn’t for the fainthearted.

But this initial fear subsided as she admired the surrounding landscape.
“I was afraid that the suspension bridge would shake a lot, but it wasn’t that bad,” said Fellner. “The view is really impressive and you can even see the forest below through the trellis! Luckily I’m not afraid of heights.”
Sky Bridge 721, suspended by cables, hangs 95 meters above the valley floor and spans between 1,110 and 1,116 meters above sea level. The bridge can be accessed by cable car and walking across is a one-way deal. Upon exiting the walkway at the other side, visitors can make their way along a paved forest path lined with signs detailing Czech history. There’s also a corresponding virtual reality phone game.
The walkway claims to be the new world’s longest suspended footbridge.

The 1.2-meter-wide Sky Bridge is open to children of all ages and heights, but is not suitable for people with pushchairs or wheelchairs.
Sky Bridge 721 is around 2.5 hours drive from Czech capital city Prague.
