Radetzky Bridge

Radetzky Bridge is a road structure that crosses the Mur River in Graz, spanning about 54 meters with a combination of steel and stone materials. It carries both vehicle traffic and pedestrians, linking different areas of the city on either side of the waterway.

The bridge opened in 1898 as part of Graz's infrastructure development during that era. It was named after a prominent Austrian Field Marshal who had historical importance to the region.

The bridge is named after an important Austrian military figure and serves as an everyday crossing point for people moving through the city. Locals and visitors alike pause here to watch the river flow beneath while going about their daily journeys.

The bridge is accessible above and below throughout the day, offering different ways to experience the crossing and the river. It functions smoothly for regular traffic patterns and can be reached easily from both surrounding areas.

Below the bridge, a natural wave developed in 1999 that draws water sports enthusiasts to the site. This unexpected feature has made the location special for surfers seeking an unusual experience within Austria.
