They mostly talked about the Czech woman who started it in mainland Europe but they briefly showed that statue when they got to the part of the final transport. It was an amazing story❤️. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you had commented on getting background to photos. So I try and add a little bit to mine. I had originally heard about this through fencing. Sir Nicholas Winton, the main organiser, and his brother were leaders in British fencing. There is still a big competition called the Winton Trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ropes you see in the picture are for the zip line. When we arrived at the bridge the last people to ride across just finished. We stayed in a little mountain chalet nearby, the owner gave us some of their home smoked meats and cheeses and the next day we woke up to sheep in our little front yard😂.
