Stonebridge in Leles

The Stonebridge extends 70 meters across a former arm of the Tisa River, constructed from slate andesite stone from Chlmecké Hills quarries.

Built during the 14th century, this medieval bridge formed part of a 17-kilometer route connecting the municipalities of Kráľovský Chlmec and Veľké Kapušany.

The bridge received its name Most svätého Gottharda when Premonstratensians from Bohemia introduced Saint Gotthard veneration at the Leles monastery.

The structure remains accessible only by foot due to nature protection regulations, with a walking path suitable for visitors of all ages.

This structure stands as the oldest bridge in Slovakia, crossing what is now a dry riverbed surrounded by natural vegetation.
