The viaduct next to Hanušovce is a valuable technical monument and the longest railway bridge built in an arched form not only in Slovakia but also in Central Europe.

Viaduct Hanušovce

It is located next to Hanušovce. The arched viaduct is a 389.9 meter long building, which was built in 1943. The beautiful structure with a bent lower belt was built on pillars of uneven height, following the shape of the valley.

The highest of the pillars has 28 m and its height is 40 meters above the ground. The viaduct was completely destroyed during World War II. Fortunately, this valuable technical monument has been reconstructed and is serving again.

Along with several similar bridge structures, the Viaduct next to Hanušovce is part of the railway track between Kapušany and Vranov.

However, many natives carry it in their hearts, thanks to the stunning Slovak nature, traditions, and history, which breathe through the castles and châteaux scattered across the country, the unique atmosphere of typical Slovak villages, as well as larger towns, where original Slovak gastronomy, friendly inhabitants, entertainment, and culture blend together.

Although Slovakia has a smaller area compared to surrounding countries, it offers a vast array of experiences. From natural treasures and breathtaking scenery to historical monuments and castles, all the way to worldwide unique attractions.
