A total of 200 to 300 people have been recorded to have taken their own life by jumping from the bridge, garnering the nickname „Suicide bridge“.
Since 2011, the deceased have been commemorated in the monument named Of One’s Own Volition by Krištof Kintera, in the park below.

I tried to put myself in the shoes of someone who is tired of life, who is approaching the bridge from the bottom to the top, before finally taking the last “step”. I have to admit, they were very intense feelings.
