Last day of September has seen the grand, slightly bombastic opening of Kładka Bernatka, a bike and foot-bridge over Wisła, linking Kazimierz and Podgórze. Generally, Bernatka has acceptance of public, however here and there you can hear voices of scepticism;  it’s not looking right, it’s not in a right place etc. The most distinct opinion belongs to anarchist though, for them Bernatka is a menace, a wide pipe that will be spitting out to Podgórze, drunken crowds from Kazimierz, the another step to death in a sweet grip of global tourism.
Well from our side, we are going to heavy use Bernatka on weekly hostel tours from Krakow to Podgórze, in a day light. Hope it doesn’t count as killing.
