这座小桥位于克拉普诺市附近Vrapice村的Dřetovice河之上，连通了从村庄通往墓地的步行小径。桥梁所在的自然环境以某种方式补偿了村庄的城市化公共空间。村庄周围的地质地貌也十分丰富有趣，有人曾在这里发现了鲨鱼牙齿化石。桥周围的草地常被洪水淹没，在没有人为干预的时候，这里就是一片荒野。

The bridge over the Dřetovice stream in Vrapice, near the city of Kladno, is located on a pedestrian trail that leads from the village to the cemetery. It is set in a remarkable natural context that, in a way, compensates for the urbanized public space of the village. The landscape around Vrapice is also geologically very interesting with findings such as fossilized shark teeth. The meadow around the bridge was often flooded and its immediate surrounding is characterized by both systematic human interventions and relative wilderness defined by constant changes due to the floods.

桥梁的概念实际上有着更为深层的含义：它就像控制着生死的魔法大门，又或是来自“星际漫游”中的神奇物体。独特的建筑设计探索了轻量结构的局限性以及人行天桥所需的精密度，而迷人的黑色高科技材料则赋予了这座桥梁更多的艺术气息。
The concept of the bridge bears a higher meaning; it is a magical portal between the world of the living and the dead, or a numinous object from the Space Odyssey. The unique architectural design explores the limits of light weightness and subtlety of a pedestrian bridge, artistically based on the mesmerizing black and extremely technologically advanced material.

桥梁由C110 / 130级抗冻的高性能纤维增强混凝土制成。桥梁的双曲几何结构有着10米的跨度和0.4米的弧度，这样的设计能够从两个主要方向来稳定、支撑桥体。桥的横截面宽度为1.5米，总建筑材料为1.4立方米，重约3.5吨。
The bridge is made from freeze-resistant ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), grade C110/130, fiber-reinforced. Structural solution of the 10 m span and 0.4 m camber adequately lies in the double-curved geometry of the bridge, stabilizing the construction in both main directions and allowing easy bracing of the bridge. With 1,5 m width in the cross section and 1,4 m3 of material used for building it, the bridge weights approx. 3,5 tons.

在对结构设计和混凝土浇铸技术的验证期间，设计团队打造出桥梁原型并进行了载荷测试。施工团队在桥梁的建筑材料中加入颜料，并对桥面的铜锈进行蚀刻，许多关键的细节还经过了手工打磨。
During the verification of the structural design and the concrete casting technology, a prototype was built and subjected to load testing. Pigment was added into the concrete mixture, surface patina etched and the key details hand sanded.

桥对面的雕塑是来自简·亨德里希教授工作室的“The Guardian”。雕刻家亨德里希是巴洛克雕塑领域的一位领军人物，这种类型的雕塑在桥梁和景观，以及建筑的原型设计中都被广泛使用。这尊雕塑是基于巴洛克的原型打造的，它被放置在景观之中以补充整个桥梁空间的构成。
Opposite to the bridge is “The Guardian”, a sculpture from the atelier of prof. Jan Hendrych. Among other things, sculptor Hendrych is a leading expert on Baroque sculptures placed in the context of bridges and landscapes and on their plastic modelling. The sculpture is based on the original Baroque archetypes (e.g. John of Nepomuk) and placed in the landscape set-up completing the entire spatial composition of the bridge.
