Concrete evidence in and around Podolí I ranges from the construction history of the Podolský most to a chapel with an annual pilgrimage. There are also historical sites and mountains in the surrounding area, as well as a campsite offering accommodation and catering facilities.

Culture and history

The Podolí I Museum has a permanent photographic exhibition documenting the construction of the Podolský most between 1938 and 1943. The Podolí I Museum can be visited by prior arrangement with the staff of the municipal office.

The Podolský most was built between 1938 and 1943. It has a 150-metre-long main arch, is known as the “Gateway to Heaven”, and received awards at international competitions in Paris and Liège.

An old trade route from Bavaria to Galicia led across the ferry at Podolsko. The first written mention of the ferry dates from 1493; the route ran there until the chain bridge was built in 1848.

The Chapel of Our Lady Queen in Podolí I was built by settlers in 1970.
