Малый Кубанский мост, Suspension footbridge in Resort Town of Sochi, Russia
The Maly Kuban Bridge is a suspension footbridge that spans across a deep gorge with a metal mesh walking surface. Steel cables anchored at both ends support the entire structure and allow it to carry people safely across the gap.
The footbridge was built in the 1950s as part of Sochi's development during the Soviet period. Its construction reflected the city's growth as a major resort destination at that time.
The structure serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors meet during their daily walks to enjoy the surroundings. It has become part of how people spend their leisure time in this part of Sochi.
You can reach the bridge from either side of the gorge using simple stairs and pathways. It is best to visit in the morning or early evening when it is less crowded and the light makes the surrounding views more enjoyable.
Walking across the bridge creates a gentle swaying sensation underfoot that reminds you of the height and the thin cables above. This sensation is mild and safe but noticeable enough to make the crossing memorable.
