Krajinský most

Krajinský most is a functionalist bridge spanning the Váh River in Piešťany, connecting the town center with the spa complex. The structure carries both pedestrian and vehicle traffic across the waterway.

The bridge was built in 1932 by architect Emil Beluš, following functionalist design principles of that era. A major renovation in 2000 restored and secured the structure for continued use.

A statue on the bridge depicts a man breaking a crutch, symbolizing recovery and healing for spa visitors passing through. This image shapes how people experience the connection between town and thermal facilities.

The bridge is open daily for pedestrians and vehicles, offering direct access between the town and spa facilities. The paved walkway is accessible year-round, though it can become slippery during rain.

This bridge features a roof covering, a rare structural choice that sets it apart among similar structures in the region. The covering provides weather protection when crossing.
