Pedestrian Bridge over the Rinža River by dans arhitekti

The pedestrian bridge over the Rinža River, designed by Slovenian firm dans arhitekti, opened in 2024 as a landmark for the Gaj sports park area in Kočevje. The 165 m² structure spans the river in a long, elegant curve, resting on two existing pillars and gently touching the riverbanks. Its width and slope accommodate bicycle path use, giving it a light, slender appearance that preserves and enhances the surrounding landscape. The design team includes Maja Cvelbar, Miha Dešman, Eva Fišer Berlot, Vlatka Ljubanović, and Katarina Pirkmajer Dešman. Photographs by Miran Kambic.
