The original is in San Francisco, a small copy of the Golden Gate Bridge here at the Vranov Reservoir. It connects the side of the Frain dam (Vranovská prehrada-hráz) with the campsite at the reservoir.

Today, we sat out the mild morning rain in the RV and extended our breakfast.

Around midday, in light drizzle but moderate temperatures, we set off on our bike tour.

The Thayatal Cycle Path North was on the agenda.

We took a little detour to the Vranov Reservoir and took a quick look at a small part of it.
