The iconic reinforced concrete gentleman connects the island of Krk, the cradle of the Frankopan family, with the mainland near Kraljevica and represents a true engineering feat of its time. When it opened in 1980, with a concrete arch of 390 meters, it surpassed the record previously held by the bridge in Sydney – by a full 85 meters! Another interesting fact is when the bura wind gets angry (and it can be quite temperamental, up to 150 km/h), even this concrete champion has to take a break until the bura allows traffic to resume. Today, crossing the Krk bridge is free of charge.

There is a beautiful view of the bridge right from our Črišnjeva Cove!
