Short project description: : 

After almost fifty years spent seperated by the 'Iron Curtain' Austria and Slovakia have been reunited by a €5 million bridge for cyclists by the border. The kilometre long 'Freedom Bridge' has been built between Schlosshof in eastern Austria and Devinska Nova Ves, the bridge, for cyclists and pedestrians, provides a missing link on the 10,000 km long Iron Curtain Cycling Trail, which retraces the route of the Iron Curtain.

The project was co-financed by Slovak-Austrian Cross-Border Cooperation Programme 2007-2013.
