– The Slovak National Uprising Bridge in Bratislava, a.k.a. Nový most (“New Bridge”) between 1993 to 2012, a.k.a. UFO Bridge (non-official) is an asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge and the world’s longest bridge to have one pylon and one cable-stayed plane. It was built between 1967 and 1972 and it required a significant section of the Old Town below Bratislava Castle to be demolished to build the road leading to the bridge.
– Tatra chamois – is a subspecies of the chamois, which in its turn is a species of goat-antelope native to mountains in Europe. This particular animal was in danger of extinction in 1999-2000, when its population dropped to 160 individuals. Since that, thanks to a program aimed to preserve Tatra chamois’ population, their numbers went to as many as 1431 in 2018.
